Veal Baked Hay by Mark Hix from Mark Hix on Baking

Cooking with hay is an old technique 鈥� the hay keeps the heat in听and gives the meat a fantastic grassy taste. 听It鈥檚 important to soak the hay before using though, because if it smoulders it will give the delicate veal a flavour you don鈥檛 want. 听Pet shops听and garden centres sell clean hay.

听Serves 4

Prep time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 听50 mins

听

Ingredients

1 x 1.5kg rib or rack of veal

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

A little vegetable oil, for frying

1 new-season garlic bulb or a few normal garlic cloves, peeled & thinly sliced

10 small sprigs of rosemary

a couple of good handfuls of clean hay, soaked in cold water for 15 mins & drained

听

Method

Preheat the oven to 220C / gas mark 7.

Season the veal with salt & pepper.

Heat a little vegetable oil until almost smoking in a large, heavy frying pan, add the meat听and seal on all sides until nicely browned. 听

Remove from the pan.

Using a sharp knife, make about 10 incisions, about 1 cm deep through the veal听and insert a slice of garlic听and a sprig of rosemary into each.

Put the veal into a roasting tray听and pack the hay around it. Cover with foil & cook in the oven for 35 mins.

Remove the foil听and turn the oven down to 190C / gas mark 5听and cook for another 15 mins.

To serve, leave to rest for 15 mins, remove the hay听and carve. 听(This will give you meat cooked to medium-rare 鈥� if you leave the veal to rest in the hay for a further 15-20 mins, it will continue cooking to medium).

Nigel's Top Tips

  • I cooked this dish to medium-rare 鈥� but if you leave the veal to rest in the hay for a further 15-20 mins, it will continue cooking to medium.
  • Pet shops听and garden centres are awash with hay.
