Veal “Birds” with sauce

original recipe and language – The English Hus-wife, Gervase Markham, 1615

You shall take a legg of Veal, and cut the flesh from the bones, and cut it into thinn long slices: then take sweet herbs, and the white part of Scallions, and chop them well together with the yolks of eggs, then role it up within the slices of Veal, and so spit them and roast them: Then boyle Verjuice, Butter, Sugar, Cinnamon, Currants and sweet herbs together, and being seasoned with a little salt, serve the Olives up upon the Sawce with salt cast over them.
The Modern Version:

(The original recipe calls for broiling the olives (“birds”) on a spit over a fire, but sautéing them is both easier and better tasting.)

Ingredients
1 lb veal round steak, (450g) ½ inch thick
2 hard boiled egg yolks
¼ cup minced parsley
3 scallions, white part only, minced
½ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon butter

For The Sauce:
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon currants (soaked in hot water for 10 minutes)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon rosemary
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon parsley, minced

Directions
Remove any bones or fat from the veal and cut into 4 pieces (approximately 3 X 4 inches).
With a meat tenderizer or a wine bottle, flatten the pieces as flat as possible.
Mix the egg yolks, parsley, scallions, thyme and salt to form a paste.
Divide the paste in fourths, and spread one fourth onto each piece of veal.
Roll up each piece and tie with butcher’s string.
Melt the butter in a heavy skillet.
Brown the veal birds lightly on all sides.
Lower the heat and continue cooking for about 12 minutes.

To make the sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for ten minutes.
Pour the sauce over the veal birds and cook for two more minutes.

Crumbed Veal with Asagio Cheese

Crumbed Veal with Asagio CheeseServes 1

Ingredients
1 thin veal steak
1 anchovy fillet, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
fresh parsley, rosemary and sage, all finely chopped.
sea salt
fresh black pepper
1 egg, beaten
dried breadcrumbs
peanut oil, for deep frying
a knob of butter
1-2 tablespoons of homemade tomato sauce
slices of Asagio cheese

Directions
Check that your steak is of an even thickness.
If not, give it a light bashing with the rolling pin (I love a bit of discipline in the kitchen).
Combine the egg with the anchovy, garlic herbs and seasoning,
Add the veal steak to the egg mixture, cover and refrigerate for a few hours.
Remove the steaks from the egg marinade and allow the excess to drip away.
Dip the steak into the breadcrumbs.
Coat well, pressing the crumbs into the meat.
Place in the fridge, covered until you are ready to fry.
Preheat your grill to hot.
Heat enough peanut oil in a pan so you can deep fry your steak (or steaks if making more than one). When hot, add the butter and fry the crumbed steak until golden.
Immediately drain on some paper, for a minute.
Top with a spoonful or two of tomato sauce and slices of asiago cheese.
Place under the hot grill, until the cheese is just melted and oozing.
Serve immediately.

It is perfect with a simple dish of very fine asparagus spears and rainbow chard stalks tossed with a white truffle oil vinaigrette.
