saut� pan over high heat and brown each side of
the veal until golden brown. Then place veal on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for eight
minutes or until an internal temperature of 130
degrees. Serve veal with tasso potato cake and
blue cheese demi-glace.
Tasso Potato Cake:
2 large peeled potatoes
1 cup diced tasso
1 egg beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsps olive oil
Using a box type cheese grater shred the
potatoes into a mixing bowl. Combine the tasso,
egg and salt and pepper to the potatoes. Heat
olive oil in a medium saut� pan over high heat.
Carefully add the potato mixtures to the saut�
pan and press down on it with a flat spatula to
form a flat circle shape potato cake in the pan.
Brown for 3 minutes then gently flip the potato
cake and brown this side for 3 minutes. Remove
the potato cake from saut� pan to a cutting
board and cut it to the desired shapes for
serving using a knife.
