GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH SAGE JUS

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet on low. Add garlic and sage leaves and cook very slowly for 30 minutes. Season veal chops with salt and pepper and brush with a little olive oil. Grill until medium-rare, about 15 minutes, turning once.
• Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan on high. Add chops and sear until just pink inside, 5 minutes more, turning once. Remove chops to 4 warmed dinner plates. Deglaze pan with stock or water and reduce over high heat to 1/2 cup of liquid, scraping bottom of pan to incorporate any browned bits. Reduce heat and add garlic-sage oil to the pan.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH CAPER AND SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill until it is very hot. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
• Rub the chops with the oil and sprinkle them with the salt and pepper. Put the chops on the clean grill rack and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer them to the oven and let them rest and finish cooking for at least 10 minutes (the chops can be kept in the oven for up to 30 minutes).
• MEANWHILE FOR THE SAUCE:
• Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
• At serving time, place a chop on each of four plates and coat with the sauce.

SAGE VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and rub them each with about 1 tablespoon of chopped sage. Rub the sage into meat on both sides of each chop. Add oil to the pan. Melt butter into the oil and add chops to the pan. Cook chops 5 minutes on each side and transfer to warm platter and let them rest. Add wine to the pan and scrape up drippings. Spoon drippings down over the chops and serve.

VEAL CHOPS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Place the veal chops in a large nonreactive pan. Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the lemon juice. Stir in 10 coarsely chopped sage leaves. Pour the mixture over the chops, cover and refrigerate for several hours, turning the chops occasionally.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place 2 large skillets over high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade and remove and discard any pieces of sage that may be clinging to them. Sprinkle each chop generously with salt and pepper. Divide the remaining 3 tablespoons oil between the pans. When the oil is very hot, place 2 chops in each pan and cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is browned and the chops are cooked to the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes, depending on their thickness. Place the chops on a platter, cover with foil and put them in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
• Pour the grease out of 1 pan and add the wine. Add 5 chopped sage leaves and place over medium heat. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has reduced to about 1/4 of its original volume. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the veal chops to 4 plates and pour the sauce over them. Garnish each plate with a few whole sage leaves and serve immediately with potato galettes (see recipe) and pan-grilled scallions with sea salt (see recipe) 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.
