How to make Veal Rack with Foie Pâté

Prepare the Veal Rack

  1. Step 1

    Loosen the meat from the ribs without completely detaching it. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then spread a thin layer of foie pâté over the surface. Wrap the meat and tie it with kitchen twine to maintain its shape.

Assemble in the Oven

  1. Step 1

    Place the veal rack on a baking tray and add the chopped onion, sliced leek, and diced tomatoes around it.

  2. Step 2

    Drizzle with olive oil, white wine, and beef stock. Season again with salt and pepper.

Cook

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and roast the veal rack for approximately 1 hour.

  2. Step 2

    If necessary, add a bit more stock during cooking to prevent drying out.

Finish the Meat

  1. Step 1

    Once cooked, remove the kitchen twine and cut the veal rack into portions, using the bones as a guide.

Prepare the Side Dish

  1. Step 1

    Sauté the pre-cooked potatoes and carrots in butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Make the Sauce

  1. Step 1

    Blend the cooking juices, including the leek, onion, and tomatoes, until you achieve a thick sauce.
