Veal croquettes & tonnato sauce

Step 1. Shredded Veal

1. Brown the veal pallet in a slow cooker, add a dab of butter and the onions, then the garlic and thyme.
2. Brown for 8 min, then add the cocoa and corn starch.
3. Pour in water up to the top, add salt and pepper, and cover. Leave to cook on a medium heat for 4h; the sauce should reduce by more than half.
4. When the meat is cooked, leave it to cool and shred it with your fingertips, then add the sauce. Form balls with the shredded veal and leave in the fridge for 30 min.
5. Dip the balls into the flour then into the beaten egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs.
6. Heat the oil in a saucepan to 160°C and fry the meat balls until a nice color is obtained.

Step 2. Tonnato Sauce

Mix together the tuna in oil, anchovy filets, egg yolks, Sherry vinegar, mustard, veal juice and olive oil until the mixture is fairly smooth.

Step 3. Plating-Up

Arrange the croquettes on a plate covered with parchment paper and add the tonnato sauce on the side.
