Rose Veal Escalope in a Herb & Wine Sauce
"This version of the dish has few ingredients but is not lacking in flavour. Acidity from the wine; soft, fragrant herbs; a bit of tang from the crème fraîche... they balance each other out. It takes minutes to cook and can be served casually with some green leaves on the side."

WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC ROSE VEAL?
With animal welfare our top priority, our rose veal are reared ethically, in a free-range environment with access to paddocks to roam and forage. Rich in protein and iron, organic rose veal is lean, lower in fat than beef and gives a subtle, melt-in-the-mouth flavour with little to no seasoning required.
Ingredients
- 400g rose veal escalopes
- 50g plain flour
- salt and pepper
- 1tsp English mustard powder
For The Sauce
- 30g butter
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 200ml dry white wine
- 20g dill, chopped
- 20g tarragon, chopped
- 20g parsley, chopped
- 40g crème fraiche
Method
- We prefer a really thin escalope, and the best way to achieve this is to lay the veal slices flat on a large sheet of baking paper, spaced out well. Then cover with a second sheet of baking paper and use a rolling pin or meat tenderiser to thin/ even out
- Mix the flour with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and a teaspoon of the mustard powder. Mix well, and coat each slice of veal on both sides
- Heat the butter and the oil in a large frying pan until they start to bubble. Then add the veal in a flat single layer (if the frying pan isn’t large enough, you can do this in two batches)
- Fry for one minute. Flip and fry for a further minute on the other side. Add the wine and cook for four minutes
- Carefully remove the escalope(s) from the wine to a side plate and continue cooking the wine until it has reduced by half
- Add the herbs and mix well, then add the crème fraîche and mix to combine. Then return the veal to the pan and carefully flip so the meat heats up and the sauce coats everything
- Serve immediately. This is great on its own but a green salad and rice or mashed potatoes go really well
