Veal Angelica

Elegant stuffed veal medallions made with asparagus and provolone cheese are breaded and fried, then slow cooked to a brilliant finish in a mushroom wine sauce.

Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 40 Minutes

4 servings

Ingredients
8 (2 ounce) veal cutlets, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness 450 g total
8 (1 ounce) slices provolone cheese 225g total
8 fresh asparagus spears
4 (1/2 ounce) slices prosciutto
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onion
1/2 cup sliced roasted red peppers
1 cup red wine
1 cup chicken broth

Directions
Season each veal cutlet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. On each of four of the cutlets, place 1 slice of cheese, 2 spears of asparagus, one slice of prosciutto, and another slice of cheese on top. Top each stack with a second cutlet, folding under and pressing the edges together to make a package.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Dredge both sides of the veal packages in flour. Dip each one in the egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs. Place on a plate, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. The skillet should be large enough to hold all four packages. Brown the veal on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Add the onion and red peppers, and cook over medium heat until they are translucent. Pour in the wine, and simmer until the alcohol has cooked away – it will no longer smell as strongly. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the mushrooms.

Place the skillet and its contents into the preheated oven, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the veal has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). The sauce should also be reduced by about half.

serves 4

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.

Lightly flour veal cutlets, and shake off the excess.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Saute garlic and shallots in skillet until shallots are tender.
