The book gives 8 mārciņas of veal to 1 mārciņa of butter and about 2½ hours on the spit, which converts to 3.35 kg of meat and 420 g of butter. We use about half the meat, with the same proportion of butter.

Method

8 soļi
  1. If you like, soak the veal in cold water in the fridge for 1–2 hours (see Notes). Drain and pat dry.
  2. Heat the oven to 160 °C (fan 140 °C). If there is no kidney, lard the top of the joint with the strips of fat and lemon zest, using a larding needle.
  3. Set the meat on a rack in a roasting tin, kidney side (or larded side) down, and sprinkle with salt. Pour the boiling water over it, let it drain into the tin, then pour the water away.
  4. Put the butter in the tin and roast, basting every 15–20 minutes with the butter and juices. After about an hour, turn the joint kidney side (or larded side) up.
  5. Roast for 1¾–2¼ hours in all, until the thickest part of the meat reaches 63 °C for a juicy, faintly pink roast, or 68–70 °C for well done; the kidney should reach 70 °C. If the outside needs more colour, turn the oven up to 200 °C for the last 15 minutes.
  6. Rest the meat, loosely covered, for 15 minutes. Skim some of the fat off the pan juices and strain them into a warm sauceboat.
  7. Serve kidney side (or larded side) up, with the juices.
  8. On a rotisserie: use a boned, rolled loin, tied firmly so it can't slip on the spit. Pour the boiling water over the salted meat into the drip tray, empty the tray, put the butter in it and roast at a moderate heat, basting from the tray. Allow about 2 hours for 1.8 kg, to the same core temperatures.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book soaks the loin for 2 hours in well water, fixes it firmly on the spit, salts it, pours plenty of boiling water over it and throws that water away, then puts butter in the dripping pan and roasts it slowly, well back from the fire, for about 2½ hours. It serves it kidney side up; without a kidney, one side is larded with bacon and lemon and goes on top. The oven, the temperatures, the turning and the times are ours.

Soaking

the cold soak was meant to give whiter meat. Modern veal doesn't need it, so it's optional.

Butter

the book's 1 part butter to 8 of meat is generous; most of it ends up in the pan juices, which are the sauce.

Kidney

veal kidney is mild. If your joint has none, buy one, trim off the white core and tie it inside a rolled loin. Offal should reach 70 °C.

Leftovers

the next recipes use cold roast veal: in lemon sauce (07-002), minced (07-003), as a ragout (07-006) and the kidney on toast (07-008).
