Veal Medallions, Chanterelles and Noodles
- 1/2 pound chanterelles
- 1/2 pound noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 4 veal medallions
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley leaves
- Cut the base of the stems of the chanterelles.
- If the mushrooms are very gritty, rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat them dry.
- Otherwise, clean them very carefully with a soft paint or pastry brush.
- Cut the large mushrooms into bite-size pieces, leave the smaller ones whole.
- Cook the noodles in boiling salted water until done (about eight minutes).
- While the noodles are cooking, melt one tablespoon of butter with the oil in a frying pan.
- Brown the veal medallions on both sides.
- Turn down heat to moderate and add the chanterelles.
- Add the wine, stirring well, and cover.
- Cook for five minutes.
- Drain the noodles, toss them in a bowl with remaining tablespoon butter and keep warm.
- Remove the medallions from the pan (at this stage they should be pink in the middle; leave them in longer if they should be more well done, otherwise remove them to a heated plate and keep them warm in a low oven).
- Add the cream, salt and pepper to the frying pan and bring to boil, scraping up any cooking residue on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat.
- Place a serving of noodles on each of two plates.
- Place two medallions on top of each serving.
- Spoon the sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
