1- In a Dutch oven (like Le Creuset) melt the butter (40g) and a tablespoon of grapeseed oil. When the mixture turns golden brown (beurre noisette), brown your veal roast by giving it a little color on each side (be careful just a little color, not seared like a roast beef).
2- Preheat the oven to 200°C (th 6-7).
3- Add around your roast the diced carrots, peeled garlic cloves, onions, thyme and bay leaves. Cover and let sweat gently for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes cut roughly into large squares, salt, pepper and leave covered for another 5 minutes then add the white wine and 1 dl (10 cl) of water (or 18 cl of cider). When it comes back to a boil, taste and adjust the seasoning.
4- Put in the oven cooking 50 minutes covered while basting it from time to time (you can if you wish, 10 minutes before removing it, add two nice spoonfuls of strong mustard).
5- Remove the veal roast onto a platter and let it rest for a quarter hour covered in aluminum foil (so the meat relaxes). Remove the bay leaf.
Presentation:
On a nice long platter arrange the slices coated with your cooked garnish on top, a saucepan of gravy will be served separately.
If you want to make your veal roast with morels, make the sauce with your gravy and serve the garnish separately.
For low temperature cooking, do exactly the same, but
