Nodini di vitello al burro e salvia con patate al forno Etna Doc Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie 2015 Firriato

With care, veal remains juicy and pairs excellently with roast potatoes as well as with an Etna DOC Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie Firriato. Recipe made by Chef Matteo Giudici.

Ingredients for 4 people:
4 veal chops, ½ kg potatoes, 2 sprigs of rosemary, salt and pepper as desired, extra-virgin olive oil as needed, 100g butter., some sage leaves, two garlic cloves and 300m gravy.
 
Directions:
Place the veal chops in vacuum-sealed bags and cook them in a sous vide oven at 55°C for 90 minutes. (The meat can be cooked ahead of time and kept in the vacuum-sealed bags in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days but they need to be warmed up in water before serving for a dozen or so minutes at 50°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes, peel and cut into equal-sized cubes (a couple of cm in size). Put the potatoes into a bowl, season with EVOO, salt and pepper and then add the rosemary and mix together well with a wooden spoon.
Put the seasoned potatoes into an oiled pan, add a peeled garlic clove and bake for around an hour in an oven pre-heated to 200°C.
Remove the veal chops from the bags, dry with paper towels and then brown on all sides in a pan with the butter, sage leaves and the remaining garlic clove. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chops topped with some gravy with some roast potatoes on the side.
