Veal Liver with Caramelized Onions

Veal Liver with Caramelized Onions4 servings
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes

Ingredients
1 1/4 lb Veal liver 625 g
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 large red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped

Directions
Cut the veal liver into strips of 2 cm (1 in).
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with flour.
Shake to remove any excess.
Melt the butter in a sauté pan and cook the onion with the sugar over low heat for 5 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
In the same pan, add the olive oil; increase heat to high, add the liver strips and sauté about 3 minutes for medium doneness (pink in centre).
Season to taste.
Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, scraping up the bits of meat stuck to the pan. Add the red wine.
Remove from heat, add the parsley and sage. Serve with risotto or a green salad.

Note: The secret to the success of this dish is the onions. Caramelizing them lightly with sugar and then adding the balsamic vinegar creates the “sweet and sour” flavour characteristic of this dish.

Grilled Veal Chops Stuffed with Mushrooms, Swiss Chard and Goat Cheese

Grilled Veal Chops Stuffed with Mushrooms, Swiss Chard and Goat Cheese3 servings

Ingredients
3 large Veal Chops
2 cups button mushrooms
1 1/2 cup Swiss Chard
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
4 oz goat cheese
1/2 cup red wine
olive Oil
sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper

 Directions
Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat. Finely chop 1 1/4 cup of the mushrooms and the Swiss Chard. Once the sauté pan is hot add some olive oil and then the mushrooms, Swiss Chard, and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are fully cooked, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Place half of the goat cheese in a small bowl and top with the warm mushrooms and Swiss Chard from the stove, allowing the goat cheese to melt. Stir the ingredients making sure that the goat cheese is well combined and set aside. This is your stuffing mixture.

Reheat the sauté pan over medium heat. Take the remaining mushrooms and chop into large chunks. Add olive oil and the mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the red wine and continue to sauté allowing the mushrooms to soak up most of the wine. In another small bowl add the remaining goat cheese and top with the red wine mushrooms and combine with a fork. Remember to always taste! At this point feel free to add a little bit more red wine or fresh herbs according to your preference…..whatever you think tastes best. (If adding fresh herbs I would recommend adding rosemary here) Set the red wine mushrooms aside. This will be used to top the veal chops once removed from the grill.

To prepare the veal chops cut a slit in the center of the chop creating a large pocket that will hold the stuffing. Season both sides of each veal chop with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Take a sip of wine and get ready to stuff! This part is a bit messy but very easy. Stuff each veal chop with the mushroom, Swiss Chard stuffing until full (as much stuff as you can get in there!). To secure the veal chops shut you can either tie kitchen string around the chops or use tooth picks (just make sure you remember to remove the tooth picks or string when removing from the grill).

Heat the grill on medium-high heat. Once the grill has reached temperature place the veal chops on the grill and close. Grill the chops for about 6 minutes on each side. Be sure to cut into the largest chop to check and see if it is cooked all the way through. Remember this is veal so it will still be fairly light in color. Once done remove the chops from the grill.

Sip some wine and plate your meal! Remove the toothpicks or kitchen string from the chops and place one on each plate. Top each one with large spoonful of the goat cheese and red wine mushrooms. We served this with an heirloom tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh lettuce and basil. Pour everyone a glass of wine and enjoy!
