Grilled Veal And Fresh Harvest Tomatoes Recipes

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH RAW SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes so that the salt will leach out the juice of the tomatoes.
• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high-high heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it, on a plate. Place chops on plate and turn in extra-virgin olive oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Once the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around, you want nice grill markings and a good crust on them. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium or move chops a little off to the side on an outdoor grill for more indirect heat. Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, remove the chops and let them rest covered with a tented piece of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
• Once the chops are cooked and rested, add the spinach and olives to the tomatoes and toss to coat. Serve the salad on or alongside the chops and spoon out some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH WARM TOMATO-OLIVE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Rub veal chops with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill veal to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
• Meanwhile, combine 4 tablespoons oil and garlic in small saucepan. Set on edge of grill or over medium heat on stove top and heat oil until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, olives, basil, and vinegar. Stir vinaigrette until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve with chops.

VEAL WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
• Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
• Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

GRILLED VEAL CHOP WITH FRESH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Put 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive on a plate; sprinkle white pepper on the extra virgin olive oil. Take the veal chop and lightly coat it on both sides with the extra virgin olive oil and white pepper mixture. Then grill or broil the veal chop to your preference. When the veal chop is cooked remove from heat. Set aside on a warm platter.
• Using a non stick pan heat the 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil add the garlic and let it brown for 3 minutes, add 8 ounces of water and 10 leaves of basil, stem and all. Add in 3 teaspoons of flour; let everything amalgamate and using a wooden spoon stir for 10 minutes to create the flavor of the sauce and thickness. After the sauce is ready remove from heat, strain and serve on top of the veal chop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if needed.
