Ingredients

Fresh sage

1 tbs, finely chopped

Salt

1 tsp

Fresh lemon rind

1 tsp, finely grated

Olive oil

1 tbs

Veal cutlet or chop, raw

800 g, (buy 1kg veal rack), fat trimmed

Baby potatoes

600 g

Swiss brown mushrooms

200 g, thinly sliced

Baby spinach

100 g

Balsamic vinegar

1 tbs

Lemon(s)

1 medium, wedges, to serve

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

1

Combine the sage, salt, lemon rind and half of the oil in a small bowl. Rub over the veal.

2

Preheat oven to 220°C. Place the veal in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C and bake for 35 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover the veal with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

3

While the veal is cooking, lightly spray a baking dish with oil. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Boil for 10-15 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Place the potatoes in the prepared dish. Using a potato masher, gently crush the potatoes to about 2cm thick. Lightly spray with oil and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and crisp.

4

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the mushroom, stirring, for 3 minutes or until browned. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until just wilted. Add the vinegar and stir to combine.
