Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large onions, chopped (3 cups)
1 pound Cubanelle peppers (Italian green frying peppers; 4 large), coarsely chopped
3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can plum tomatoes in juice
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian or regular paprika (not hot)
3 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (28 fl ounces)
8 meaty cross-cut veal shanks (ossobuco; 7 to 7 1/2 pounds total), tied
2 cups dry white wine
1 (16-ounces) container sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Equipment: a 15-by 13-by 3-inch flameproof heavy roasting pan
Accompaniment: tiny dumplings with dill

Steps:

  • Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then cook onions and peppers in 1/4 cup oil with bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice, breaking them up with a spoon, and cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle paprika over tomato mixture and stir just to combine, then immediately stir in broth. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Pat shanks dry and season all over with 2 teaspoon salt. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then add 4 shanks and brown, turning once, about 8 minutes total. Add shanks to tomato mixture in roasting pan. Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean. Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil and brown remaining 4 shanks in same manner, transferring to roasting pan. Pour off fat from skillet, then add wine to skillet and boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 15 to 20 seconds. Pour into roasting pan. Bring to a boil, then cover tightly with heavy-duty foil and braise in oven until very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours (depending on size).
  • Transfer shanks with a slotted spoon to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Skim off any fat from braising liquid.
  • Whisk together sour cream and flour in a medium bowl. Whisk about 1 cup hot braising liquid into sour-cream mixture, then add mixture to remaining braising liquid in roasting pan and simmer (straddled across 2 burners) over low heat, whisking occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return shanks to sauce along with any meat juices from platter, and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

VEAL BIRDS PAPRIKA



Veal Birds Paprika image

Categories     Mushroom     Onion     Tomato     Braise     Veal     Winter     Sour Cream     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms
9 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
six 1/4-inch-thick veal cutlets (about 1 pound total), flattened between sheets of plastic wrap
1/2 cup white veal stock or chicken broth
1/2 cup tomato purée
2 tablespoons paprika
buttered noodles as an accompaniment
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet cook 1/2 cup of the onion and the mushrooms in 6 tablespoons of the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden, stir in the bread crumbs, the basil, and salt and pepper to taste, and let the filling cool. Divide the filling among the cutlets and fold in the long sides of each cutlet 1/2 inch. Starting with a short side, roll up the cutlets and tie them at each end with kitchen string.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in it brown the veal birds, patted dry, and transfer them as they are browned to a bowl. In the skillet cook the remaining 1 cup onion in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat, stirring, until it is golden, stir in the stock, the tomato purée, and the paprika, and add the veal birds with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl. Simmer the mixture, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the veal is tender. Arrange the noodles on a platter, remove the string from the veal birds, and transfer the veal birds with tongs to the platter. Reduce the heat to low, whisk the sour cream and salt and pepper to taste into the skillet, and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it is hot, but do not let it boil. Serve the sauce separately.

VEAL SCALLOPS IN A CREAMY PAPRIKA ONION SAUCE



Veal Scallops in a Creamy Paprika Onion Sauce image

This simple recipe is quick and easy to prepare yet pleasing to the eye and the tastebuds. I've made it with regular paprika, which contrary to popular opinion, does have a very pleasing flavor. If your veal scallops are very thick, you might wish first to pound them down thinner between two sheets of plastic wrap.

Categories     Veal

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large veal scallops (but preferably not too thick)
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon paprika
3 onions, sliced in rings
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Cut each scallop in half; makes for a nicer presentation in my opinion and facilitates cooking.
  • Heat 2 TBS of the oil in a large (preferably non-stick) frying pan.
  • Add the paprika and mix completely into the oil.
  • Add the onions, and cook them over moderate heat until they are completely softened.
  • While the onions are cooking, salt and pepper the veal scallops.
  • Dredge them in the flour making sure to cover all surfaces and sides.
  • When the onions have softened, move them to the edge of the frying pan.
  • Add the final TBS oil to the pan, and when this is hot, lay your veal scallops in the center of the pan.
  • Brown well, about three minutes per side.
  • Now move the scallops to the outer edge of the pan and bring the onions back to the center.
  • Add the sour cream and mix well with onions until it is completely incorporated; once this is achieved, nestle the scallops in the sauce, turning them over once to allow each side a slight covering of sauce.
  • Cover the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and veal is tender.
  • Remove veal to serving dishes, give the onions and sauce one more good stir and serve over the top of the veal.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality paprika. Look for a brand that sources its paprika from Hungary and has a deep red color.
  • Use a variety of peppers. For a more complex flavor, use a combination of sweet, hot, and smoked paprika.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices. Cumin, coriander, and garlic powder all complement the flavors of paprika well.
  • Use a good quality cut of meat. Veal shoulder or chuck roast are both good options.
  • Brown the meat thoroughly. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Simmer the meat until it is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours, so be patient.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Egg noodles, spaetzle, or mashed potatoes are all good options.

Conclusion:

Veal paprikash is a classic Hungarian dish that is both flavorful and comforting. It is a great meal to serve for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
