Ingredients
- 8 veal medallions (2 to 3 ounces each), pounded about 1/4 inch thick
- 2 teaspoons Emeril's Essence, recipe follows
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups sliced assorted fresh wild mushrooms
- 1 cup blanched quartered artichoke hearts
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 turns freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, in pieces, at room temperature
Directions
Place the veal medallions on a flat surface, sprinkle them on both sides with the Essence, and press the seasoning into the meat evenly.
Heat the oil in a large non-reactive skillet over high heat. Add the veal, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, green onions, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn the veal, placing it on top of the vegetables. Stir in the lemon juice and the white wine and cook for 1 minute. Remove the veal and set aside. Cook the vegetables for 1 minute. Whisk in the cream and butter and bring to a boil. Return the veal to the skillet for 1 minute and remove from the heat. Remove the veal with tongs. You should have about 2 cups of the sauce and vegetables.
To serve, place 2 veal medallions on each of 4 plates and smother with 1/2 cup of the sauce.

- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika

- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder

I agree with leaving out the Essence. The flavor overpowered the delicate and expensive meat. Not our favorite and will not prepare again.

Could be a very good recipe if you eliminated the spice from Emeril's Essence. The two flavors from the sauce and the essence clashed and was disappointing as we had such great cuts of veal.

I made this with buffalo tenderloin medalions. What a great flavor! It tastes & looks like you went to an expensive restaurant, but you did it yourself.
