Préparation
-
Prepare the Stuffing: In a bowl, mix minced veal, chopped mushrooms, chopped onion, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper.
-
Assemble the Paupiettes: Lay veal cutlets flat, place a generous amount of stuffing in the center, then roll the meat around the filling and secure with kitchen string or toothpicks.
-
Brown the Paupiettes: In a skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Brown the paupiettes on all sides for 5-7 minutes.
-
Cook in Sauce: Transfer paupiettes to a deep pan, add veal stock, cover, and cook on low heat for 40-45 minutes.
-
Prepare the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, deglaze with veal stock and scrape the bits off the bottom. Add cream, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let simmer until the sauce thickens.
-
Combine Paupiettes and Sauce: Once paupiettes are cooked, pour the cream sauce over them and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Notes
For richer sauce, add a knob of butter at the end of cooking.
Customize the stuffing by adding vegetables like carrots or spinach.
Use vegetable stock or chicken stock for a lighter flavor.
