Instructions

0/4
  1. Cover the diced veal with the stock and water, bring to a simmer and skim. Add the clove-studded onion, leek, thyme and bay, cover and cook for 1 hour.

  2. Add the sliced carrots and cook 20 minutes more. Cook the rice separately and dry-fry the mushrooms.

  3. Make a roux with the butter and flour, whisk in 600 ml of the cooking liquid and let it thicken for 5 minutes.

  4. Off the heat, stir in the cream mixed with the yolk and lemon juice, return the meat, carrots and mushrooms, and scatter with parsley.

Chef's tips

  • •Don't let the sauce boil once the yolk is in, or it will split.
