Ingredients
12 slices veal cut into 1-inch thick slices, about 1 1/2 lbs total weight
12 small white onions, peeled
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon sugar
salt to taste
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced, about 2 cups
2 cooked, thinly sliced artichoke bottoms
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup Demi-glace
8 whole cooked chestnuts
chopped parsley for garnish
Directions
Have the meat cut and ready to cook.
Combine the onions, water, sugar, and salt, add one tablespoon of the butter and bring to the boil.
Cover and cook ten minutes, or until onions are tender.
Uncover and cook over high heat until liquid evaporates and onions are lightly browned and glazed.
Dredge the meat on all sides in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Heat three tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the meat in one layer.
Add the meat and cook until golden, three or four minutes to a side.
Remove and arrange the pieces of veal on a warm platter.
Add the mushrooms and artichokes to the skillet and cook briefly.
Remove and set aside.
Pour off the fat from the skillet.
Add the wine and cook, stirring, until almost evaporated.
Add the demi-glace and stir to blend.
Add the onions, mushrooms, artichokes, and chestnuts to the sauce and bring to the boil.
Transfer one chestnut to each mignonette.
Pour the remainder of the sauce over the veal and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
NOTE: If demi-glace is not used, substitute half a cup of veal or chicken broth and bring to the boil. Blend half a teaspoon arrowroot with one tablespoon of dry white wine and stir it into the sauce.
Use freshly cooked shelled chestnuts, prepared according to any standard recipe, or use canned chestnuts.
