I am looking for a recipe called Saddle of Veal Prince Orloff or something
like that. I have searched all over on the internet without success. I saw
it once in a cookbook and it was mentioned on the Mary Tyler Moore show so I
know it is not a figment of my imagination. Thanks. Bill
Hello Bill,
No, it's not your imagination. See below.
Phaed
Saddle of Veal with Soubise, Mushrooms, Truffles with Mornay Sauce (Orloff)
Selle de veau Orloff
To serve 8
Soubise:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain regular-milled white rice
2 cups coarsely chopped onions 1 cup "White Chicken Stock", or substitute 1
cup canned chicken stock, chilled, then degreased
Soubise (Onion-and-Rice Mixture):
Pre-heat the oven to 325ºF. In a heavy 11/2- to 2-quart casserole, melt the 4
tablespoons of butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside,
add the chopped onions and, stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes
until they are soft and translucent but not brown. Watch carefully for any
sign of burning and regulate the heat accordingly.
Stir in the rice and stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the
casserole tightly and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes, or
until the grains are soft and have absorbed all of the liquid. Purée the
onion-and-rice mixture through the finest blade of a food mill, or rub it
through a fine sieve with the back of a spoon. Set the mixture aside.
Purée de champignons:
1 pound fresh mushrooms "Butter with Flour"
2 tablespoons "Clarified Butter" 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream Freshly ground white pepper
1 and 1/2 tablespoons strained fresh lemon juice
Purée de champignons (Mushroom Purée):
Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth and trim off and discard the base of
the stems. Then put them through the finest blade of a food grinder or chop
both caps and stems as fine as possible. A handful at a time, place the
mushrooms in the corner of a towel or double thickness of cheesecloth and
squeeze vigorously to extract as much of their juice as possible.
In a heavy 8- to 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over moderate
heat for 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms and, stirring constantly, cook over
low heat for 3 or 4 minutes. The mushrooms are done when the liquid
accumulated in the pan evaporates. Do not let them brown.
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Then stir in the lemon juice, the "Butter with Flour", salt
and a pinch of white pepper. continue cooking for 4 or 5 minutes longer,
still stirring occasionally until the "Butter with Flour" has been absorbed.
Stir the purée into the onion-and-rice mixture, cool to room temperature,
cover with foil or plastic wrap and set aside.
Selle de veau:
A 5 and 1/2- to 6-pound saddle of veal (a short double loin), with inner fat
removed and all but 1/8 inch of fat trimmed from the surface 1/2 cup thinly
sliced celery
2 teaspoons salt 1 medium-sized firm, ripe tomato, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper A "Bouquet garni"
3 tablespoons butter, softened 1/4 cup dry white wine
1 pound veal bones, sawed into 1-inch lengths 2 tablespoons "Meat Glaze"
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds 2 large black
truffles cut into 1/8-inch thick rounds
1/2 cup thinly sliced scraped carrots
Selle de veau (Saddle of Veal):
Ask the butcher to prepare the veal for roasting in the following fashion,
or do it yourself: Trim the bone at the base of the front end of the saddle
with a cleaver so that the saddle will lie perfectly flat. Then trim any
ragged edges from the flaps. Sprinkle the underside of the veal with 1
teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Tuck the flaps under
and, with white kitchen cord, tie the saddle crosswise in at least three
places.
Pre-heat the over to 400° F. Sprinkle the top of the saddle evenly with 1
teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper and rub it with 3
tablespoons of softened butter. Spread the bones as evenly as possible in
the bottom of a shallow roasting pan large enough to hold the saddle
comfortably and set the saddle, fat side up, on top.
Roast the veal uncovered and undisturbed in the middle of the oven for 30
minutes. Then reduce the oven heat to 350°F. Scatter the onion, carrots,
celery and tomato around the saddle and add the "Bouquet garni". Cover the
pan snugly with heavy foil and braise the veal undisturbed for 30 minutes.
Then remove the foil and roast for 30 minutes longer. Transfer the veal to a
cutting board and let it cool to room temperature.
With tongs or a slotted spoon remove and discard the bones from the roasting
pan and pour in the wine and "Meat Glaze". Bring to a boil over high heat,
stirring constantly and scraping in the browned particles that cling to the
bottom and sides of the pan. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a
bowl, pressing down on the vegetables with the back of a spoon to extract
all their juices before discarding them. Set the strained liquid aside. When
it cools, skim all the fat from the surface.

This is from the April 1980 bon appétit it's exactly the same is the recipe you posted with one exception.
In your recipe you have half a teaspoon vanilla going into the cake batter. In the Bon Appetit recipe it
is half a tablespoon( or one and a half teaspoons) of vanilla in the batter. Otherwise the recipes are almost identical.
