Osso Bucco Stuffed Herb Crusted Veal Chop over Porcini and White Truffle Risotto with Brunello de Montalcino Sauce

By Philip Kane from The Colony Bay Club Bonita Springs, FL

Veal Chop: 1 portion recipe

Procedure:

In a 10in sauce pan, Heat the olive oil until it smokes. Then season the veal shank and place one side of it in the hot oil

when it reaches a rich brown color turn it over and repeat on the other side, be careful with your heat, you don’t want to

burn the fond. Next remove the shank and add the carrot, celery, leak, garlic, and onion to the pan and gently sauté until

lightly caramelized. Then add half of the Brunello and all of the veal stock, put the shank back in the pan and cover it with

a lid or tin foil, cook until the shank is fork tender all the way through. When the shank is done remove it from the braising

liquid and cool it in the fridge, keep reducing the liquid about 2/3 then strain through a cheese cloth lined chinoise.

When the shank has cooled, shred the meat with your fingers in medium size pieces and place in a mixing bowl then scoop

out the bone marrow and mix it into the shredded veal gently (don’t tear up what you have shredded) and season to taste.

Next pick the herbs from there stem and chop them. In a mixing bowl, mix the chopped herbs with extra course sea salt

and fresh cracked pepper. Then take the veal chop and scrub the bone with steel wool removing any connective tissue.

Then lightly pound the chop to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Next take your shredded veal mixture and place it in the center

of the veal chop and roll it up then wrap it with the cual fat keeping the bone in a vertical position, it should go around twice.

Then in a hot sauté pan sear the chop until golden brown and the fat is crisp. Now crust the chop with your herb mixture

and Place in a 350 degree oven to finish. When the veal comes out place it on a rack to rest about 5 min before slicing.

Then take your hot pan and deglaze it with about half of what is left of the brunello, reduce by 7/8 and add the reduced

braising liquid and reduce until it will coat the back of a spoon. Slice and Serve over the risotto keeping the bone attached

and garnish with fresh chervil and fresh chives.

Wood-Roasted Rack of Veal with Vineyard Sauce

By Michael Farrell from Hansel & Gretel's Catering in Rockford, Michigan

For the Spaetzle:

6 oz. ap flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tbsp. black pepper, coarsely ground dash nutmeg

butter, as needed

salt and pepper to taste

For the Risotto:

1 cup Arborio rice

1 T canola oil

2 T white wine

1/4 yellow onion, small dice

2 sprigs thyme

1 pinch saffron

approximately 4 cups chicken stock

1/4 cup parmeggiano reggiano, grated

2 T unsalted butter at room temperature

salt and pepper

For the Brussel Sprouts:

1 dozen cippolini onions

3 dozen brussel sprouts

salt and pepper to taste

3 oz. butter

1 oz. hazelnut oil

For the Sauce:

Pan drippings and reserved garlic

1/4 cup white verjus

3 cups veal stock

26-40 white grapes, peeled and seeded(preferably Riesling or other white vinifera variety

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup white verjus

salt and pepper to taste

1 oz butter

Method:

First prepare the wood oven. Start a fire early enough that by cooking time the oven is heated through and the coals are

banked. You should budget at least three hours. Always use a good hard wood, but for this recipe I would recommend

something of only medium flavor, no hickory or mesquite. Oak, apple, cherry or similar woods would be fine. Also,

grapevine cuttings if availabel would be excellent.

Season the rack well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a roasting pan large enough to just hold the rack and sear well

on all sides until an even golden brown. Remove from the pan and turn down the heat. Add the butter and melt it in the

pan using it to deglaze, scraping as much of the fond off as possible and removing it from the pan and reserve. Turn off

the heat and return the rack to the pan. lay the garlic and rosemary across the bones on the rack and zest the two lemons

over the rack. Reserve the lemons for later. Your oven should be approximately 325 degrees. Roast the rack for 1 to

1 1/2 hours, until it reads 130 to 134 degrees internally, basting with the reserved butter and fond very fifteen minutes and

checking the temp each time. Use up the butter during basting and pull the rack when it reaches the desired temp. Hold

warm while finishing the dish.

Prepare spaetzle and sprouts while rack is roasting. For the spaetzle, combine the flour and spices. Combine the milk

and eggs. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry until just combined and let rest 15 minutes. Use a spaetzle press

or press through a large holed colander into boiling water. Stir once then remove from the boiling water and shock the

spaetzle in ice water. Drain and hold for service.

For the sprouts. Blanch the cipollinis and sprouts separately in boiling salted water until tender. Shock in ice water and

drain. Peel the blanched cipollinis but leave whole. Cut the brussel sprouts in half. Reserve until service.

Remove the rosemary and lemon zest from the rack and discard. Remove the garlic and keep 2-3 good size cloves.

Press the garlic out of the skins on the reserved cloves. Remove the rack from the roasting pan to a platter. Put the pan

back on a medium to low heat and clarify any fat in the pan, evaporating any juices, but not burning the fond. Drain the fat

and discard. Deglaze the pan with the first verjus, stirring and scraping to loosen the fond. Add the veal stock and continue

scraping until all fond is in the sauce. Reduce liquid to 1 1/2 cups. Mix the second verjus and the egg yolks together and

temper in the hot liquids. Return to heat and heat just until the egg yolk thickens the sauce, 160-165 degrees. Whisk in

the butter and season to taste. Hold warm but never let it boil.

Finish the spaetzle by browning a few ounces of butter in a hot skillet then sauteing them in it and season to taste.

Finish the sprouts by sauteing the cipollinis in the butter until they just begin to color, then add the brussel sprouts.

Saute until heated through, season to taste and finish with the hazelnut oil.

Finish the sauce by adding the peeled and seeded grapes and heating through.

Cut the rack into individual chops and plate each chop laying across some of the spaetzle with the sprouts alongside.

Topp with the sauce, making sure each chop recieves at least 6 grapes, and some of the chop is left bare to expose

the beautiful color of the perfect chop. Enjoy!

Heat oil in large heavy bottom pan on medium high heat just until it smokes. Place the flat sides down, evenly spaced in

the hot pan. Turn down temperature to medium if oil continues to smoke. Sear flat sides of shanks for about two minutes

each or until they have a golden brown crust. Remove shanks and let them rest.

Return the pan to medium heat and add the first six ingredients. Cook stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent.

Add wine and cook for one more minute or until the wine cooks down and no longer smells of alcohol. Add chicken stock

and remove from heat.

Combine everything in one casserole dish with tight fitting lid and cook in preheated 300 degree oven for 3 to 4 hours or

longer, until the meat is fork tender. If the chicken stock evaporates completely during the cooking process add

another cup or two. Remove from oven and let rest, covered while you cook the risotto.

Make the pesto before the risotto. Peel lemon with sharp peeler and trim white pith from the yellow zest; alternatively

you can zest lemon with conventional zester. Extract juice from lemon, discarding seeds. Put garlic, lemon juice,

lemon zest and parsley in blender, puree in blender, slowly adding EVOO to the mix. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Heat stock in saucepan. Heat oil in wide heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat. Add onion and stir until translucent.

Add rice and stir for a minute or two. Immediately before rice begins to brown, add wine, and stir for a few more minutes,

until the rice no longer smells of alcohol. Add thyme, saffron and 1/2 cup hot chicken stock. Stir until liquid has been

absorbed by rice. Continue to add stock and stir in 1/2 cup increments every few minutes. After 20 to thirty minutes the rice

granules should no longer be hard. When they have lost their bite, season with salt and pepper. The risotto is done when

you add the parmegianno reggiano and butter, stirring slowly to incorporate everything.

Assemble on plate the risotto and one veal shank with a little bit of the braising jus and vegetables and then garnish

with the pesto and aged balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!

Pan Roasted Le Quebecois Veal Chop on a bed of Linguini and Littleneck Clams with Roasted Red Peppers and Caper Vinaigrette

By Chef Gina Melita from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, Atlanta in Tucker, Georgia

Yield: 4 Servings

Make the Vinaigrette:

oz Sherry Vinegar

12 oz 80/20 Canola/olive oil blend

4 oz Extra Virgin olive oil

2 Tbls Nonpareille Capers, crushed

½ tsp Lavender Flowers, lightly crushed

1t kosher salt

1/8 t Fresh Ground Black Pepper

1ea Shallots, minced

Make the Garlic Chips:

3ea Garlic Cloves

1/4c 80/20 Canola/Olive Oil Blend

Instructions:

1. Preheat a convection oven to 375°F.

2. Allow the Veal Chops to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to temper the meat.

3. Roast the Red Pepper over an open flame or under a broiler until the exterior skin is blackened and puckered.

Immediately place into a small stainless steel bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This helps steam the skin away from

the flesh for easier peeling.

4. Once cool enough to handle the Pepper, wipe away the skin of the Pepper with a damp paper towel. It’s important

not to rinse the Pepper under water because that will rinse away too much of the flavor.

5. Cut the Pepper into julienne strips, approximately 1/8 ­ 1/4é x 2-2.5é, reserve.

6. Make the Vinaigrette (see recipe).

7. Toss the julienne Peppers with 1 oz of the Vinaigrette and hold.

8. Make Garlic Chips by thinly slicing whole garlic cloves into paper thin pieces. Put into a sauté pan with room

temperature Blended Oil, then begin frying gently until very lightly golden brown. Let drain on paper towels and reserve.

9. Season the Veal Chops with the Salt and Pepper on both sides of the meat.

10. In a large sauté pan, at least 14" diameter, heat the blended Oil. When wavy but not too smoky, add half of the Butter

and swirl. Place the seasoned Veal Chops in the pan, making sure not to place too closely to one another.

11. When deeply golden on one side, turn over the Chops, add the rest of the Butter and the Rosemary Sprigs.

12. Place the pan into a 375° F convection oven for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chop),

basting periodically. Internal temperature should be in the range of 130°F - 135°F when removed from the pan.

13. Allow the meat to rest on a rack for approximately 5-10 minutes.

14. While the meat is roasting, season the boiling water with the Kosher Salt.

15. Boil the Dry Linguini in the salted water approximately 10 minutes or until al dente.

16. While the Linguini is boiling, place the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a sauté pan and bring up to a medium heat.

Gently sweat the minced Garlic, being careful to avoid browning.

17. Add the washed Clams, then the Wine. Let the Wine come to a simmer for 1or 2 minutes, then add the Fond de Veau,

the Rosemary sprig and the Pepper.

18. Cover and let steam 3-5 minutes or until all of the Clams are open.

19. Once the Clams are open, decant the cooking liquid into another pan, leaving any residual sand, the Rosemary

and the Clams themselves in the original pot. Do not discard the clams!

20. Over Med-High heat, whisk in the 2 oz. Butter into the clean cooking liquid.

21. Toss the cooked, strained, but un-rinsed Linguini into the liquid and let come up to a simmer. Let reduce a little.

Taste the liquid and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

22. Twirl the Linguini around a meat fork to form a tight, attractive pasta "nest" in the center of a warm,

large entrée style "pasta bowl".

23. Put the seasoned, julienne Roasted Peppers into a small pan and gently heat, sprinkling in the Basil Chiffonade. Hold.

24. To re-heat the Veal, place into a 375°F convection oven for 3-4 minutes.

25. Remove the heated Veal from the oven, then place on top of the Linguini "nest".

26. Place 8 Whole Clams, in the shell, in each bowl, surrounding the Veal Chop.

27. Top the Veal with the heated Red Peppers and some of their juice.

28. Pour approximately 3 oz of the clam cooking liquid over the Clams and Veal into each bowl.

29. Top the Peppers with Garlic Chips, tiny Basil Leaves, and a splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
