Veal Scallops With Cranberry Citrus Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Combine dried cranberries and boiling water in small bowl.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Add orange juice, bourbon, orange peel and ginger, stir to blend.
• (Can be made 3 hours ahead; Cover cranberry mixture and let stand at room temperature).
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season veal with salt and pepper.
• Add veal to skillet and saute until brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Using tongs, transfer veal to plates.
• Add cranberry mixture to skillet and cook until mixture thickens, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute.
• Mix in green onion.
• Season compote with salt and pepper.
• Spoon over veal.

Steps:

• Cut each scallop in half; makes for a nicer presentation in my opinion and facilitates cooking.
• Heat 2 TBS of the oil in a large (preferably non-stick) frying pan.
• Add the paprika and mix completely into the oil.
• Add the onions, and cook them over moderate heat until they are completely softened.
• While the onions are cooking, salt and pepper the veal scallops.
• Dredge them in the flour making sure to cover all surfaces and sides.
• When the onions have softened, move them to the edge of the frying pan.
• Add the final TBS oil to the pan, and when this is hot, lay your veal scallops in the center of the pan.
• Brown well, about three minutes per side.
• Now move the scallops to the outer edge of the pan and bring the onions back to the center.
• Add the sour cream and mix well with onions until it is completely incorporated; once this is achieved, nestle the scallops in the sauce, turning them over once to allow each side a slight covering of sauce.
• Cover the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and veal is tender.
• Remove veal to serving dishes, give the onions and sauce one more good stir and serve over the top of the veal.
