Roasted Veal Chops With Grapes Recipe 445

ROASTED VEAL CHOPS WITH GRAPES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°. On a sturdy rimmed baking sheet, toss the grapes with the vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and the sugar; season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 10 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through, until the grapes are hot and the pan is sizzling. Rub the veal chops with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper. Push the grapes to one side of the baking sheet. Add the veal chops and roast for about 5 minutes, or until sizzling underneath. Turn the chops and roast for 5 minutes longer for medium-rare meat. Transfer the veal chops to a platter, scrape the grapes and juices on top and serve.

ROASTED DOUBLE VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cook pancetta in 1 tablespoon oil over moderately low heat in a large heavy skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered. Transfer pancetta to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet.
• 3Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Increase heat under skillet to moderately high, then brown chops in fat on all sides, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer chops to a small flameproof roasting pan, bone sides down, and set skillet aside.
• Roast chops in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of meat (without touching bone) registers 135°F for medium, about 1 hour. Transfer chops to a cutting board and let stand, covered loosely with foil, 15 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 140°F).
• Discard all but about 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add wine to skillet and deglaze by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits. Add stock and boil until mixture is reduced to about 3/4 cup.
• Finish sauce while chops are standing:
• Deglaze roasting pan with wine mixture. Transfer to a small saucepan and skim off any fat. Reheat and swirl in butter, parsley, and thyme. Stir in any juices accumulated on cutting board, pancetta, and pepper to taste.
• With chops on their sides, cut parallel to bones into thin slices, then serve with sauce.
