VEAL CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE AND MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add veal chops, and sear until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they have released all of their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the wine, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cream, return chops to pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently 30 minutes. Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; pass potatoes through a potato ricer, and return to saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
• Pour warm sauce over the chops and mashed potatoes, and serve with greens on the side.

VEAL CHOPS TWO WAYS, WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare the grilled chops: Prepare a medium-hot fire in an outdoor of indoor grill. Lightly brush two of the veal chops with a little olive oil and grill them, turning twice, for a total of about 10 minutes for medium, or until cooked to the desired doneness. Set aside and keep hot. To prepare the pan-fried chops: Lightly dust the remaining two chops with flour, salt, and pepper. In a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chops to the pan and cook, turning every 2 minutes, for a total of 8 to 10 minutes. Cover the pan and cook an additional 5 minutes for medium, or until the chops are cooked to the desired doneness. Remove the chops from the pan, set aside, and keep warm. To make the mushroom sauce for the grilled chops: In a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and saute half of the mushrooms until they have released their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the glace de viande and 1/2 cup of the wine or stock, cooking and stirring for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside and keep warm. To make the mushroom sauce for the pan-fried chops: Place the pan in which the chops were sauteed over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the remaining mushrooms, and saute until they have released their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine or stock to the pan, stir to scrape up the glaze from the bottom of the pan, and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. To serve: Arrange the grilled chops on one end of a large serving platter and spoon their accompanying sauce over them. Place the pan-fried chops on the other end, along with their sauce. Serve with gratin dauphinois. Gratin Dauphinois Preheat the oven to 450 F. Generously butter a 12-inch baking dish. Place some of the potatoes in a layer in the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with some of the garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Continue in this fashion to make three layers of potatoes, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the cream or milk and half-and-half over the dish, stir, and smooth the top of the gratin with the back of a spoon. Bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, and the top is browned and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.

DOUBLE CUT VEAL CHOP SALTIMBOCA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on high heat.
• Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pot over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating prepare a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. When the oil is hot but not quite smoking add the sage leaves, stand back as they will crackle and pop. When the leaves are fried crisp remove to the paper towel using a mesh skimmer, set aside to cool. Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Using a small paring knife cut a slit in the veal chop, between the bones, but on the meat side. Using your fingers make a pocket in the veal and transfer to the plastic lined tray. On a large plate or clean cutting board lay down the fontina slices, top each with 2 slices of prosciutto and 3 to 4 sage leaves.
• Roll the fontina slice up with all the ingredients inside making a small package. Using 1 hand, open up the pocket in the veal chop while stuffing the cheese and prosciutto package inside with the other hand. Brush the chops with the olive oil and season generously with gray salt and black pepper. Grill the chops over high heat for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side until nicely marked and move to indirect heat for about 8 to 10 more minutes or until desired doneness.

DOUBLE VEAL CHOPS WITH BRAISED SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet large enough to hold the veal chops in one layer, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add the veal trimmings. Over medium-high heat, brown for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the veal chops and garlic. Season well with sea salt and pepper. Cook the veal chops for about 10 minutes a side, moving the chops around the pan periodically. Remove the veal chops, leaving the garlic and the veal trimming in the pan. Drain all fat from the skillet.
• Add the chicken broth to the pan. Deglaze over high heat, reducing by half. Check seasonings. Return the veal chops to the pan with any of their accumulated juices. Remove from the heat, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, brown the pancetta over medium heat in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, and add the potatoes, carrots, onions, salsify and scallions. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, for 30 minutes.
• Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus, sugar snap peas and broccoli rabe. Return to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Drain well.
• Add remaining butter to the vegetable skillet. Add the drained vegetables. Check for seasonings.
• Slice the veal thinly and serve with vegetables and reduced pan juices. Include garlic cloves if desired.

VEAL CHOPS WITH MUSTARD SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter with oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chops with dried sage and pepper. Add to skillet and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and cook to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for medium-rare. Transfer veal to plate; keep warm.
• Add shallots to same skillet and stir 1 minute. Add broth, 1 tablespoon minced sage and mustard to skillet and boil until very thick, scraping up browned bits, about 4 minutes. Add half and half and boil until liquid thickens to sauce consistency, about 1 minute. Mix in remaining 1 tablespoon minced sage and any juices exuded by veal. Adjust seasoning. Place 1 chop on each plate. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve.

PANNED VEAL CHOP

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, butterfly each chop. Cover each chop with a large piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound out each chop, about 1/2-inch thick. Season the chops with Essence. In a shallow bowl, season the flour with Essence. In another shallow bowl, season the bread crumbs with Essence. Dredge the meat in the flour. Dip each veal chop in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each chop in the seasoned bread crumbs, coating each chop completely. In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the butter and oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry each chop for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and drain the chop on a paper-lined plate. Season the chops with Essence.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

DOUBLE-CUT VEAL CHOPS WITH AROMATIC PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large pot over high heat. Add veal and brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer veal to plate. Add onion, carrot, bay leaf, thyme, and garlic to pot. Reduce heat to medium-high; sauté until vegetables just soften, about 5 minutes. Place chops on vegetables; add any juices from plate, then stock. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Turn chops over. Cover and cook to desired doneness, about 25 minutes longer for medium-rare (145°F to 150°F). Place veal on plate; tent with oil.
• Spoon fat off top of veal-braising liquid. Press liquid and solids through strainer set over bowl to make puree; return puree to pot. Bring to boil. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Simmer until sauce coats spoon lightly, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED AND STUFFED VEAL CHOP

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high.
• Cut a pocket in the veal chops and stuff with 1 thick slice of Fontina cheese and one thin slice of Prosciutto. Seal with a toothpick. Season the chops with the garlic pepper and salt. Place on the hot grill and sear, about 3 to 4 minutes. Rotate once in between to achieve grill marks. Then flip the chops and do the same on the other side.
• Remove from direct heat and put chops on the shelf of the barbecue. Baste with steak sauce and close lid. After about 5 minutes flip and baste the other side. Close lid for 4 or 5 minutes, or until the chops are fully cooked, when the internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Let rest for 3 to 5 minutes in a warm spot. Then serve immediately.
