Roast veal in a herb and cream sauce
6 or more servings
Ingredients
1 trussed, 31/2-lb boneless rump veal roast, bones reserved
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, about 1/4 lb. peeled
2 carrots, about 1/4 lb. scraped and cut into thin rounds
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 bay leaf
6 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tea spoon dried
6 sprigs fresh tarragon or 1 tea spoon dried
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sprinkle the mast with salt and pepper. Heat half the butter in a heavy skillet and, when it is hot, add the meat. Turn the meat in the butter to brown it lightly on all sides.
Slice the onions and scatter the slices around the meat. Add the carrot rounds, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme. Scatter the bones around the veal. Place the meat in the oven and bake thirty minutes. Turn the meat, cover loosely with foil, and bake forty-five minute’s longer.
Turn the meat once more and add the tarragon sprigs to the skillet. Cover loosely with foil and bake forty-five minutes longer.
Remove the mast and discard the bones. Add the cream to the skillet and place it on the stove. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. If dried tarragon is used, add one teaspoon. Simmer five minutes and put the sauce through a fine sieve. If fresh tarragon is available, add it now. Do not add dried tarragon to the sauce after it is put through a sieve. When ready to serve, bring the sauce to the boil and swirl in the remaining butter. Slice the veal and serve with the sauce.
