🕰️ Total Time: Approximately 2 hours (Preparation: 30 minutes, Cooking: 1 hour 30 minutes)
🍽️ Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1/2 veal short loin with bone, excess fat trimmed
• 1/2 quart milk
• 5 onions, finely diced
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 pound Prosciutto ham, sliced julienne
• 1 pound mushrooms, finely diced
• 6 ounces clarified butter (divided)
• 2 cups Madeira wine
• 2 truffles, chopped
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• Fresh parsley for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Crushed Ritz crackers (if needed)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Roast:

   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Salt and pepper the veal short loin, then roast it for approximately one hour. Ensure the meat is perfectly cooked, with a golden brown exterior.

2. Prepare Veal Rack:

   • Remove the eye of veal from the rack, keeping the rack bones intact. Set aside the eye for later use.

3. Create Onion Flour Base:

   • While the veal is roasting, bring the milk to a boil. In a separate pan, sauté the finely diced onions in 4 ounces of clarified butter until translucent. Add enough flour to absorb all the butter and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, ensuring the flour doesn’t burn.

4. Make Onion and Milk Sauce:

   • Gradually add the hot milk to the onion and flour mixture, whipping until thickened. This forms a luscious onion and milk sauce as the base of your dish.

5. Prepare Prosciutto and Mushroom Mix:

   • Slice the Prosciutto ham into small julienne slices. In another pan, sauté the finely diced mushrooms in 4 ounces of clarified butter. Drain excess liquid and combine the mushrooms with the Prosciutto slices.

6. Enhance Flavor with Madeira Wine and Truffles:

   • Introduce the Madeira wine and chopped truffles to the Prosciutto and mushroom mix. Add this flavorful blend to the onion and milk sauce. Season with salt and white pepper, ensuring a perfect harmony of flavors.

7. Adjust Consistency:

   • If the mix seems too loose, tighten it up by incorporating crushed Ritz crackers until you achieve the desired consistency.

8. Assemble the Veal Orloff:

   • Place the empty veal rack (bones) on a platter. Generously spread stuffing on the bottom of the rack. Slice the eye of veal into 6 to 8 slices and arrange them on top of the stuffing. Add more stuffing between each slice, creating a delightful layering effect. Finish with additional stuffing on top and around the sides.

9. Bake to Perfection:

   • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and chopped truffles over the veal masterpiece. Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, or until the stuffing is bubbling, and the aroma fills your kitchen with anticipation.

10. Serve with Elegance:

    • Present your Veal Orloff with a touch of finesse. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color. For an extra layer of sophistication, pair it with Perigodine sauce, a classic brown sauce enriched with Madeira wine and truffles.

With its harmonious blend of textures and flavors, our Veal Orloff recipe is a celebration of culinary artistry that promises to delight your taste buds and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Enjoy the culinary journey! 🍽️✨
