Tortured Baby Cow with a White Wine, Mushroom, and Shallot Deglaze

"How can you eat veal!?! Don't you know what that poor little creature has been through?" Of course I do. That's what makes it so damn delicious. I am a fierce predator who consumes weaker species to ensure my survival. Fuck, I would eat a California condor egg omelette with dolphin steak and beluga whale caviar if I had the chance. At least the baby cow's short painful existence was not in vain. Godspeed little buddy. Let's begin:

Dredge 1/2lb of veal scaloppini strips in flour that has been salt and peppered. Fry them up in some butter over medium heat for about 45 seconds per side. Put them on a plate, cover with tin foil and set aside. Add 2tbl minced shallot (it's a type of onion, stupid) and 8-10 sliced white mushrooms. Once the mushrooms change color, dump in 1/2c of the chardonnay you bought at the gas station and scrape all the delicious little bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer uncovered until it reduces, about 10 minutes.

"That looks incredibly appetizing..." Shut up! It may not look pretty but it is fucking delicious. Let the sauce cool slightly to thicken and then spoon it over your prey. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan and/or Italian parsley. You can just taste the pain. Eat it.

If I were you I'd be more concerned about my own sexual insecurity than some random internet dude's plates. But that's just me...

Veal is awesome. I used to cook veal everyday I have no issues about eating it cooking it rolling it whatever. As for your plates I like them they remind me of my mom's old school plates she brought from Italy...good job.

cheers

Have to admit, I cannot bring myself to buy veal :( After spending years driving by cow farms in VT, I just CAN'T DO IT! Bambi is another story though...I LOVE Venison. Hypocrite to some degree? Yes, perhaps...but it is hunting season here and I am hoping to get hooked up this fall haha!!

The meal looks delicious, great to see you're still cranking out tasty offerings!!!

Just came across your blog because Anthony Bourdain said he reads it - props for that!

Anyway, you're hilarious. Love it.

Cooking Asshole said...

Thanks. It's always nice to be reminded of that.

I'm more a fan of the california condor omelet than the baby cow but that's just me. PETA wants to meet you, by the way.

I will repeat the words of a great philosopher: "If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat."
