Preparation: A cooking adventure in 25 minutes
1. The onion party:
First, finely slice the onions into rings and sauté them in a pot with 2 tbsp olive oil. Once they are translucent, add the brown sugar and let it caramelize. Then add the spices and deglaze with balsamic vinegar. Continue to simmer until the jam reaches a silky consistency. Just before finishing, stir in the thyme and season with salt and pepper.
2. The veal loin – our tender star:
Thoroughly wash the meat, pat it dry, and shape it with kitchen string. Then lightly salt, sear in a hot pan with 2 tbsp oil for two minutes on each side until it is nicely golden brown. Then bake in the oven at 175 °C for about 10 minutes until it is tender pink.
3. Crowning conclusion:
While the veal loin is cooking in the oven, slice the Taleggio. Preheat the oven to 225 °C, place the cheese on the meat, and bake for about 5 more minutes until the cheese melts beautifully.
Serve like a pro
Arrange the veal loin on a stylish solid wood cutting board or a handcrafted maple serving board, place the onion jam alongside, and indulge – your culinary masterpiece is ready!
