Luca's Eggplant Parmesan

The test kitchen and Coastal Living staff agree that this is one of the best eggplant dishes we've eaten. The tomatoes can roast while you prepare the rest of this dish.

Braised Veal Cheeks

If you can't find veal cheeks, use about 3 pounds of short ribs instead. For fall-off-the-bone tenderness, add 1 hour to the braising time.

Braised Veal Cheeks

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil
  • 10 veal cheeks, trimmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1/2 carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 fresh thyme sprig
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 cups veal stock
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325°. Combine breadcrumbs and next 3 ingredients. Set aside.

Sprinkle veal cheeks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook veal cheeks, in two batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan.

Reduce heat to medium, and add onion and next 3 ingredients. Cook vegetables 5 minutes or until browned. Add thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Add white wine, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of pan, and cook 2 minutes. Add veal stock, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Return veal cheeks to pan.

Bake, covered, at 325° for 1 1/4 hours. (Veal cheeks are done when a small knife inserted in the middle slides out with no resistance.) Remove veal cheeks from pan; keep warm. Strain braising liquid, return liquid to pan, and reduce over medium-high heat to about 2/3 cup.

Place veal cheeks on a roasting pan, and brush with mustard; sprinkle with herbed breadcrumbs. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with reduced braising liquid.
