Directions: Return the veal to the soup pot and add 6 cups water, Redibase, carrots, onion, celery, leek, and herbs. The meat should be covered in liquid; if not, add more water. Bring to a boil and simmer over moderate heat partially covered for 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender. Meanwhile, combine 2/3 cups of water, 2 T. butter and the white onions in a skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Stir the mushrooms and lemon juice to the remaining liquid in skillet. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms to the bowl with the onions. Pour all remaining liquid into the simmering veal. When the veal is done, remove from pan. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, return to pot and boil ntil reduced to 1/2. In a small saucepan, melt 3 T. of butter and stir in flour. Cook this "roux" for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Pour the reduced stock in and blend with a whisk. Then return it to the heat and cook stirring constantly until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cream. Whisk in the hot sauce, (2 T. at a time), until 1/2 cup has been added. then reverse the process and whisk the egg-cream-sauce mixture into the hot sauce. (This is to prevent curdling.) Bring to a boil in the sauce pan, season with salt and white pepper and a few drops of lemon juice. Place the veal and vegetables in alarge casserole and pour the sauce over. Toss and heat gently. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
