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.
Place the veal rack on a baking tray and add the chopped onion, sliced leek, and diced tomatoes around it.
Drizzle with olive oil, white wine, and beef stock. Season again with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and roast the veal rack for approximately 1 hour.
If necessary, add a bit more stock during cooking to prevent drying out.
Once cooked, remove the kitchen twine and cut the veal rack into portions, using the bones as a guide.
Sauté the pre-cooked potatoes and carrots in butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Blend the cooking juices, including the leek, onion, and tomatoes, until you achieve a thick sauce.
