Best 8 Stuffed Braised Veal Breast Recipes

STUFFED BREAST OF VEAL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the carrot, celery, and onion; cook and stir until the carrot begins to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, and stir in the garlic and parsley; set aside.
• Beat the eggs and water with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Fold in the bread cubes until they absorb the egg mixture, then fold in the cooked vegetables; set aside. Cut a deep pocket into the veal breast with a long, narrow knife. Stuff the veal with the bread and vegetable mixture, and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place onto a roasting pan, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 3 1/2 hours, then remove the foil, baste with pan drippings, and continue cooking 30 minutes more. When done, tent with aluminum foil, and allow the veal breast to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

BRAISED STUFFED BREAST OF VEAL

Steps:

• Heat an oven to 450 degrees. Rub the garlic with a little olive oil, wrap in foil and roast until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove the garlic and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan, add the Swiss chard leaves, sprinkle with a little salt, and cook a few minutes, turning with tongs, until wilted. Place in a colander and press out as much liquid as possible.
• Coarsely chop the Swiss chard. Shred the prosciutto and scatter over the chard. Dust with the cheese and chop ingredients together until the chard is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
• Use a sharp knife to remove excess fat from the surface of the veal. With boned side up, lightly score surface of veal in crisscross pattern. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the garlic out of cloves and mash. Spread on the meat. Spread with an even layer of chard mixture. Strew with the thyme and parsley. Tightly roll the slab of veal the long way. Use a butcher's cord to tie the veal at 1 1/2-inch intervals, tucking in any stuffing that oozes out.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large, deep casserole over medium heat. Cut the roast in half or thirds if necessary to fit in the casserole, and lightly brown on all sides, one section at a time. If the pan blackens, wash the casserole after browning the veal.
• Scatter carrots, onions, leek and celery over the veal in the casserole. Add enough liquid to nearly cover the meat. Bring to simmer on top of stove. Place in the oven and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours, basting frequently, until the meat is fork-tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in liquid to room temperature.
• Remove veal from cooking liquid, reserving liquid. Wrap veal in foil; refrigerate overnight.
• Reduce cooking liquid by half and skim off fat. Strain and freeze for another use.
• To serve, snip and remove cord from veal. Slice veal. Arrange on platter with vinaigrette, salsa verde or aioli alongside.

STUFFED BREAST OF VEAL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix onion soup mix with melted butter and paprika. Then, rub mix into the inside and outside of the veal breast.
• Shred egg bread into a colander and run hot water over bread to moisten. Drain well.
• In large bowl, put drained bread, sauteed onion, eggs, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix very well.
• Stuff the bread mixture into veal breast and cover with foil. Place into oven for 2 1/2 hours. Remove foil and cook another 45 minute to 1 hour.

STUFFED BREAST OF VEAL

Steps:

• 1 In a pot large enough to hold the stuffed veal breast, combine the cold water, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, and salt. Over medium heat, bring the water to a simmer. Cook at a simmer 20 minutes. 2 Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the bread and milk. Let stand 5 minutes. Gently squeeze the bread to drain it. 3 In a large bowl, combine the bread, ground veal, eggs, cheese, garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Gently stir in the peas, ham, and pine nuts. 4 Rinse the veal breast and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the mixture into the veal pocket, filling it evenly to eliminate air bubbles. (Do not fill the pocket more than two-thirds full, or the filling may burst out as it cooks.) Sew up the opening using a large needle and unflavored dental floss for thread. Check the sides, and if there are any openings that threaten to allow the filling to leak out, sew them closed also. 5 Lay the veal breast on a 12 × 16-inch piece of cheesecloth. Wrap the cloth around the veal to form a package. Tie up the meat roll with kitchen string in 2-inch sections, like a roast. 6 Carefully lower the veal into the simmering liquid. Place a small pot lid or other object on top of the veal to keep it submerged. Add more water if needed, so that it is completely covered. 7 Bring the liquid back to a simmer. Regulate the heat so that the water continues to simmer. Cover and cook 1 hour. Uncover and cook 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, or until the veal is tender when pierced with a small knife. (Insert it through the cheesecloth.) 8 Have a large roasting pan ready. Transfer the meat roll to the pan. Cover the wrapped meat with a baking pan or cookie sheet. Lay a heavy weight, such as a cutting board and large cans, on top. Chill in the refrigerator overnight or up to 2 days. 9 When ready to serve, unwrap the veal. Place the veal on a cutting board. 10 Cut the veal into thin slices and place them on a platter. Decorate with radicchio or garnish of your choice. Serve at cool room temperature.

STUFFED VEAL BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Rub the inside of a mixing bowl with the garlic, then chop and add to the bowl. Add and stir together the egg, 3 tablespoons of wine, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the parsley and bread crumbs, then the sausages, removed from their casings. Mix well.
• Stuff the pocket of the veal breast with the mixture, gently pressing it into the corners. Sew together the opening with a kitchen needle and string.
• Lay the bacon in a braising pan, cover with the shallot and lay the veal on top. Cover and place on the stove over low heat, until the bacon sweats and the shallot softens, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid, add 1/2 cup wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce until there is just a film of liquid in the pan. Add 1/2 cup broth and reduce once more. Pour in the remaining broth to cover 3/4 of the meat. Cover the pan with parchment paper, then the lid, and braise in the oven until the meat is fork tender, about 2 hours.
• Remove the lid and parchment. To create a glaze on top of the meat, baste the meat and braise, uncovered, for 5 minutes, then repeat. Remove from the oven and let cool in the liquid. Serve sliced, warm, with some of the cooking juices, or chilled.

BRAISED VEAL BREAST WITH POTATO-AND-ONION STUFFING

Steps:

• Make stuffing:
• Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 4-quart pot, then briskly simmer, uncovered, over moderate heat until just tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While potatoes simmer, cook onion in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Drain potatoes in a colander and, when cool enough to handle, peel, then thinly slice. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper to onion and coarsely mash with a fork. Cool to warm and stir in egg and dill until combined. Cool completely, uncovered.
• Stuff and braise veal:
• Cut a 7- by 5-inch pocket in center of meat parallel to bone, leaving a 1/2-inch border of meat all around. Loosely fill pocket with potato stuffing and sew pocket closed on cut side with needle and kitchen string (and sew any tears).
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pat veal dry and rub all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then brown veal, meat side down, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn veal over and add wine. Boil, uncovered, until wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add broth and bay leaves and return to a boil. Cover pot tightly with lid and transfer to oven, then braise until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
• Make sauce and slice veal:
• Transfer veal to a cutting board using a large wide metal spatula and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes.
• Discard bay leaves and skim off fat from pan juices. Bring pan juices to a boil. Whisk together cream and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk into pan juices. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. If desired, pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl (discard solids). Stir in dill, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Discard kitchen string from veal and cut meat from bones by holding knife against bone as you cut. Transfer stuffed meat to a cutting board and slice lengthwise 1 inch thick. Cut between ribs to separate. Serve veal slices and ribs with sauce.

BRAISED VEAL BREAST

Steps:

• Prepare the boneless veal breast by removing and discarding all visible fat. Let the meat come to room temperature.
• Roll the meat into a roll, tightly turning one edge inside and on top of itself, like a jellyroll. Cut 4 or 5 12-inch lengths of kitchen twine and tie the roll so that it keeps its uniform shape.
• Season the entire roll with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place a large French oven or braising pan (one that has a cover) over high heat. Add the canola oil and heat for 30 seconds until shimmering.
• Add the meat and brown on all sides. This will take about 10 minutes. Don't rush this step because the browning adds important flavor to the dish.
• Remove the meat to a plate and add the carrots, onion, celery and garlic to the pan. Lower the meat to medium and cook until the vegetables soften, about 6 minutes.
• Pour in the wine. Let it boil, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to remove all the brown bits.
• Add 3 cups of chicken stock and bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a simmer. Do not add any more salt or pepper at any point because through the cooking, the flavors will concentrate and the seasoning on the meat before you browned it will probably be enough. You can also adjust for seasonings at the very end of the cooking.
• Return the meat to the pan. If the meat isn't submerged at least half-way in the stock/wine mixture, add more stock until it is, up to one more cup.
• Cover the pan and adjust the heat so that the liquid is at a low simmer. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, turning the meat over at least once half-way through the cooking.
• When the meat is tender and soft to your touch (press it with the tips of your fingers and make sure that it gives a bit), remove the veal roll from the cooking liquid and place on a plate. Cover with foil to keep it warm.
• Turn the heat up under the remaining cooking liquid and bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half. Check to see if it has reached a sauce-like thickness by dipping a teaspoon in the liquid, turn the spoon over and run your finger through the liquid coating the spoon. If it leaves a clear mark, it has probably thickened enough.
• Strain the liquid through a fine-holed sieve to remove the vegetables. Return the sauce to the pan and add the minced herbs. Taste for seasoning.
• Slice the meat into 1/2-inch pieces and drizzle the sauce over the slices or else pass the sauce in a separate serving dish.
