    Recipe



    Cooking Instructions
    The day before cooking, prepare the rub for the veal. Put the lemon zest, oil, spices, garlic, ginger, prunes, and thyme in a blender, and purée until smooth. Coat the veal entirely with the rub and set in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, to marinate overnight.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe excess rub from veal with a paper towel, and wrap bones in foil. Generously season the meat with salt and pepper, place an onion in the center of the crown to keep a space for the stuffing, and set in a large roasting pan. Roast in the oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 110 degrees.

    Meanwhile, prepare the forcemeat: Combine the egg whites, eggs, and ground veal in a large bowl, then stir in the mushrooms and scallops. Season to taste with sansho, salt, and pepper. Set aside, covered, at room temperature.

    Remove the roast from the oven. Scrape the blackened pieces from the bottom of the pan with a spatula and discard. Surround the roast with parsnips and a little of the remaining oil from the rub. Remove the onion from the center, and fill the crown with the stuffing. Increase the temperature to 425 degrees, and return to the oven. Continue cooking for another 45 minutes or until internal temperature of veal reaches 135 degrees, stirring the parsnips occasionally. If the stuffing starts to brown, cover it with foil. Set the veal on a large serving platter, and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes while the popovers cook. Remove the parsnips, and keep warm. Drain the fat from the roasting pan and deglaze, first with wine, then with grapefruit juice, then with prune juice, and finally with stock, allowing each addition to reduce by half before adding the next. Remove from heat, stir in the basil and butter, and season with sansho pepper. Pour into a sauce boat, and keep warm.
