Steps:
- Cook asparagus in large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Transfer asparagus to bowl of ice water. Drain well. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap asparagus in paper towels; place in resealable plastic bag and chill.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet or wide pot with lid over medium-high heat. Add morels and saut° until tender and browned, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer morels to bowl (do not clean skillet).
- Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in same skillet over high heat. Sprinkle veal chops with flour, salt, and pepper. Add veal chops to skillet; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to same skillet; add shallot halves, 6 whole sage leaves, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves to skillet and saut until shallots are softened, about 6 minutes. Return veal chops to skillet; cover and roast in oven until tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer chops and shallot mixture to plate. Add remaining peanut oil to skillet; add 1/3 cup minced shallots, sliced sage leaves, and garlic and sauté 3 minutes. Add asparagus, morels, and broth; simmer until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes. Return veal chops to skillet, cover, and cook just until heated through and liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Transfer veal chops, morel-asparagus mixture, and pan juices to plates. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.
- What to Drink:
- A lighter-style Pinot Noir would be great with the veal chops. We like the earthy, dark berry flavors of the Domaine Jean Grivot 2004 "Les Charmois" Nuits-St.-Georges ($47).

Steps:
- Blanch asparagus tips in simmering water, drain and set aside. Poach crab legs in water, white wine and lemon slices for 5 minutes, then shell with a crab cracker and reserve.

- To serve: place asparagus and crab on top of each cutlet. Drizzle each with Bearnaise Sauce. Serve hot.

ROASTED VEAL OSCAR WITH SWEET MAINE LOBSTER, ASPARAGUS, AND SAUCE CHORON
Steps:
- For the Artichoke Puree: Cut the artichoke into medium size pieces and place in a pot. Cover the artichokes with milk and cream. Bring to a boil and reduce to a low simmer. Cook the artichokes until very tender. Strain the artichokes (reserving the liquid). Transfer to a food processor. Add a little of the reserved cream if needed. Add the mascarpone and goat cheese and blend for 10 more seconds or until well mixed together. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the butter. Transfer to a container and keep warm.
- For the Choron sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the shallots, pepper, white wine, and vinegar. Reduce over medium heat until 2 tablespoons of liquid remains. In a heat-resistant mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, water, salt, and shallot mixture. Whip over hot, but not boiling, water until thick and creamy. Slowly whisk in the melted butter, a few drops at a time, until the sauce begins to emulsify. In a slow stream, whisk in the remaining butter until it is completely incorporated. Whisk in the tarragon. Correct seasoning to taste. Whisk the chopped tomato or tomato paste into the sauce biarnaise. Correct seasoning, to taste. Keep warm until needed. Preparation time: 25 minutes Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 cups
- For the Veal: Season the veal with the salt and pepper and sear in a saute pan over high heat. Transfer to a preheated 350 degree F. oven and cook until medium rare (5 to 6 minutes). Remove from oven and keep warm. Steam the lobsters for 5 to 7 minutes, remove from water and let rest for 4 minutes. Remove the meat from the shell, slice the tail in half and keep in a little warm butter until ready to serve.
- Steam the cleaned asparagus until slightly underdone. Place a 4 ounce scoop of the artichoke puree in the center of each of 4 plates. On the puree place the veal and lobster so that they cover the puree. Place the warm asparagus on top of the 2 items. Drizzle 3 ounces choron sauce on top of each of the lobsters and around each plate. Garnish with the tarragon sprig.
