- Combine the veal, stock, wine, parsley, bay leaf, garlic, allspice, onions, and mushrooms, in the cooker.
- Lock the lid in place and over high heat.
- Bring to high pressure.
- Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 10 min if using veal shoulder or possibly 15 min if using breast.
- Let the pressure drop naturally or possibly use a quick release method.
- Remove the lid, tilting is a way from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
- Remove the parsley sprigs and bay leaf.
- While maintaining the sauce at a gently boil, slowly whisk in the bits of the flour-butter mix.
- (Made by mashing the flour into the butter).
- Lightly beat the egg yolks and cream in a bowl.
- Slowly whisk 1/2 c. of the warm sauce into the yolk-cream mix.
- The object is to prevent the yolks from curdling from contact with the warm liquid.
- Continue whisking an additional c. of the warm sauce into the yolk mix, about 1/2-c. at a time.
- Then slowly whisk this mix back into the Blanquette, that should be cooking at just below the simmering point.
- Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue to cook below the simmering point till the sauce is thick sufficient to lightly coat the back of a spoon, about 2-3 min.
- Serve immediately.
- Author's note: Traditionally made with the economical breast of veal, that has a uniquely chewy texture.
- You might prefer the more tender shoulder cut.
- Either way, it's a satisfying dish of French home cooking at its finest.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve in soup plates over egg noodles or possibly rice.
- Wild rice is especially good.
