Veal Recipes

6 servings

Ingredients
6 thick-cut veal chops
6 tablespoons of canola oil
1 lb morel mushrooms, cleaned, halved if large
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Cognac
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3-4 tablespoons unsweetened coconut cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add the morels and sauté until they are tender and give up their liquid, about 5 minutes.
Add the shallots, garlic and parsley and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
Generously season veal chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in two large ovenproof sauté pans over high heat.
Add 3 chops to each pan and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the pans into the oven to finish cooking the veal, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness. Transfer the chops to a plate.

Deglaze the pans with Cognac, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan, then combine the liquid into one pan.
Add Dijon mustard and stir to incorporate.
Add the coconut cream, mushrooms, and any juices from the resting chops and bring to a boil.
Adjust seasons to taste.
To serve, place one chop on each plate and spoon the morels over the veal chops.
