Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg veal roast (from the shank)
  • 1 bundle mirepoix (cut small)
  • 2 onions (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 unspritzed lemon (zest grated)
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 375 ml dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp clarified butter
  • 1 glass veal stock (400 ml)
  • 125 ml whipping cream
  • asparagus (600 g green and white each)
  • 400 g Carrots
  • Salt
  • sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • fresh chervil

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Mix mirepoix, onion, lemon zest, fennel, and white wine into a marinade; place the veal roast in a large freezer bag with the mixture, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1–2 days, turning occasionally.

  2. 2.

    Remove the roast from the marinade, pat dry, rub lightly with salt and pepper, then brown all sides in clarified butter in a roasting pan. Deglaze with the marinade, add veal stock, cover, and simmer gently for about 1½ hours.

  3. 3.

    Take out the roast and let it rest wrapped in foil in a warm oven at 80 °C. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a wide pot, reduce to half over high heat, pour in cream, reduce again slightly, season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4.

    Wash and peel asparagus; trim ends. For green asparagus, peel only the lower third. Wash, peel, and cut carrots into even sticks (0.5 cm).

  5. 5.

    Cook white asparagus in salted water with 1 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp butter for about 20 minutes; add green asparagus a few minutes later (≈5 min).

  6. 6.

    Boil carrots in salted water until al dente.

  7. 7.

    Melt butter and pour over the arranged vegetables. Slice the meat and serve together with the sauce.

  8. 8.

    Serve with small boiled potatoes.
