Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 600 g (1 lb. 5 oz.) milk-fed veal, in 2 mm (1/8
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) unsalted pecans
- 8 mini turnips
- 8 mini carrots
- 4 zucchini
- 40 g (1 1/2 oz.) snow peas
- 120 g (4 oz.) potato
- 80 g (3 oz.) shelled broad beans
- 500 ml (2 cups) veal stock, to be reduced by half
- 60 g (2 oz.) shaved ham
- Butter and olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Pick over and clean the vegetables. Cook, but leave crisp. Set aside.
- Sear the veal slices in a very hot non-stick pan with a little olive oil. Cook for about 5 seconds on each side. Set the veal slices aside on paper towel to absorb the excess water.
- Deglaze the pan; melt a knob of butter in it; sauté the vegetables for a few moments then deglaze with the reduced veal jus. Reduce by half.
- Chop the pecans finely and set aside.
- In the centre of each plate, place the veal slices in a star pattern, sprinkle with pecans and top with some shaved ham.
- Arrange the vegetables at the bottom of the plate or serve them on the side in a little cast iron casserole.
- Spoon on some of the reduced veal jus used to cook the vegetables. Serve immediately.
