Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/4 ounces dried morels (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 (1 1/3-inch-thick) veal rib chops
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 thyme sprig
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoon Cognac
2/3 cup crème fraîche
1/2 tablespoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Pour boiling water over morels in a small bowl and soak until morels are softened, about 30 minutes. Transfer morels with a slotted spoon to a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Press on morels with back of spoon to remove excess liquid (be careful not to squeeze out all the moisture), then add to soaking liquid and reserve. Rinse morels to remove any grit. Reserve morels and liquid separately, allowing liquid to settle.
  • While morels soak, let veal chops stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Pat chops dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper (total). Heat an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil and heat until smoking, then add veal chops and sear underside well, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn chops over and sear 1 minute.
  • Add butter, garlic, and thyme to skillet and baste veal with melting butter. Transfer skillet to oven and cook, basting every few minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop registers 130 to 135°F for medium-rare, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Transfer chops to a plate to rest. Discard garlic and thyme, keeping juices and fat in skillet, and return to burner over medium-high heat. (Handle will be very hot.) Add morels and sauté 1 minute. Add shallot and sauté 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat briefly and add Cognac, then return to heat and deglaze, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until most of liquid has evaporated. Slowly pour in reserved soaking liquid, being careful to leave last tablespoon (containing sediment) in bowl. Add meat juices from plate and boil until liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup.
  • Stir in crème fraîche, swirling to incorporate, and boil until morels are lightly coated and liquid is slightly thickened. Stir in chives and tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Serve chops smothered with morels.

1 3-pound veal shoulder roast, well trimmed and tied
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1/2 pound fresh morels

Roasted Potatoes with Wild Ramps, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole veal loin
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
40 jumbo asparagus, washed and lower stems trimmed
40 jumbo asparagus, washed and lower stems trimmed
3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds fresh or 8 ounces dried morels, stems trimmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup dry red wine such as Pineau des Charantes
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley leaves
1 tablespoon finely minced chives
1 teaspoon finely minced thyme leaves
1 pound wild ramps, bulbs only, washed*
1 stick plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 ounces bacon, finely diced (recommended: applewood smoked )
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced to 1/2-inch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the Morel Mushroom Sauce then reserve. Prepare the Roasted Potatoes with Wild Ramps. Reserve.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast iron pan, over medium-high heat. Season the meat all over with salt and pepper. Brown the veal on all sides, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F(the loin will be pink at the center), about 20 minutes. Allow the meat to rest in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the veal is roasting, blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water. Refresh it in ice water, then drain and set aside. Just before serving, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook just until heated through and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, thinly slice the veal. Place a spoonful of Roasted Potatoes with Wild Ramps in the center of each plate. Arrange 2 or 3 slices of veal over the potatoes. Place asparagus around the potatoes, spoon sauce over the meat and serve.
  • If using fresh mushrooms clean them by rubbing them with a damp cloth, or briefly submerging them in water, then drain and blot dry. If using dried mushrooms, place them in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Set the mushrooms aside until soft, then drain. Chop the fresh or re-hydrated dry mushrooms.
  • Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are almost tender, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Add the wine, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the mushrooms are fully soft, about 5 minutes more. Remove the lid and add the chicken stock. Increase the heat if necessary and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended, 20 minutes or so. Strain the sauce, reserving the mushrooms. Return the sauce to the pot and simmer until it has reduced by 90 percent and has become very concentrated, about 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm over a very low heat. Just before serving, add the reserved mushrooms and fresh herbs.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the ramps in an oven-proof medium skillet. Add the stick of butter, the honey, and enough water to cover the mushrooms. Simmer over medium heat until the water evaporates, about 10 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the ramps begin to brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the ramps are tender, about 5 minutes more. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large oven-proof skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon begins to crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the potatoes to the hot bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium-high then season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning the potatoes in the hot fat until they begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to the oven and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes more. Set the potatoes aside. Immediately before serving, warm the potatoes over medium-high heat. Add the ramps and crisp bacon and cook just until heated through.
