  2. Season both sides of the veal with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in the flour and give a little shake. Have a warm plate handy (I like to warm the oven to 150 degrees) with foil to tent the cooked veal. Heat a large sauté pan over meidum-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Let butter melt and start to foam but do not let it brown. Add veal (do not over crowd) and let each side brown (about 1 minute 30 seconds). Remove veal and place on warm plate and tent with foil. Add more oil and butter as you sauté each batch. In another sauté pan fill 1/3 of water and bring to a boil. Add in asparagus (cut into thirds) and cook for only 2 minutes. Remove immediately and put into a bowl of ice cold water. Wipe you large sauté pan and add 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sauté onions for 2 minutes then add in white wine and chicken broth. Let reduce by 1/4 then add in asparagus and peas. Let simmer together for about 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over vegetables. To serve plate veal then top with vegetables and drizzle gravy! Garnish with fresh parsley

  4. Place cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.) Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 2 teaspoons oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.
  5. TIP: I don’t use buttermilk often. You can purchase dried buttermilk in your baking isle at the grocery store. Follow directions and it last longer in your pantry.
