Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Have the veal ground twice by the butcher, or use a food processor to give the texture of twice-ground veal.

  2. Step 2

    Place the veal in a mixing bowl, and chill it in refrigerator until very cold.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the chilled veal from the refrigerator and add the nutmeg, salt, pepper, cream and three-quarters of the bread crumbs. Blend well. Beat briskly in a circular motion with a wooden spoon until well blended and smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape into patties about ¾-inch thick. Coat entirely with the remaining bread crumbs.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the patties in one layer without crowding. Brown the patties lightly over medium heat for about 5 minutes, and turn. Continue browning on the other side until the meat is cooked through without becoming dry. Do not overcook.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a warm plate and wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining butter and cook it until it is foamy. Continue cooking until the butter is a hazelnut color. Add the lemon juice and pour over each patty.

Having stumbled across a ground-veal special yest, finding M. Franey’s recipe today seemed almost foreordained. Will be accompanying ‘em with thawed frozen artichoke hearts, sautêed in butter, minced garlic, parsley & LJ.

Exceptional as it is; my man said "Don't lose the recipe for this!"

There is a recipe for Pojarski sauce in the NY Times cookbooks--in both,
I'm not mistaken. It's a sour cream, paprika sauce. Please excuse the auto correct in the previous post: POJARSKI, not Polanski.

This can be made with ground chicken. Served with Polanski sauce and noodles it is a family favorite.
