Curried Veal with Shallot and Pear Sauce

3.6

(9)

The eclectic menu at Razz's Restaurant & Bar in Scottsdale, Arizona, takes its cues from around the world. This curried veal dish is representative of chef-owner Erasmo "Razz" Kamnitzers talents. Razz is fond od of grains, so rice pilaf is appropriate here, along with steamed green and yellow zucchini. Vanilla puddings sprinkled with pistachios and raspberries would make a nice finish to this exotic menu.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 servings; can be doubled

Ingredients

9 ounces 1/4-inch-thick veal scallops
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 large pear, peeled, cored, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup whipping cream

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal; sauté until just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add pear, shallots and remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to same skillet. Cook until shallots are golden, about 2 minutes. Add curry powder; stir 1 minute. Add wine and cream and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens and pear is soft, about 3 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Return veal and any accumulated juices to sauce. Simmer until just heated through, about 1 minute. Divide veal and sauce between plates and serve.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
