Veal Chops With Peppers Recipes

GRILLED VEAL CHOP WITH FINGERLINGS, MUSHROOMS AND CHERRY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Season the veal chops generously with salt and let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Rub the chops with oil on both sides and arrange on the preheated grill on a very hot spot. After about 3 to 4 minutes, when the chops have developed lovely grill marks, rotate the chops 90 degrees to create the cross-hatch pattern. Cook the chops for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on that side and then repeat the process on the other side. This will cook the chops to about medium-rare. Remove the chops to a serving platter and set aside in a warm place to let the juices redistribute.
• While the chops are cooking, coat a large saute pan with extra-virgin olive oil and over medium heat add the garlic cloves.
• When the garlic has become golden brown and is very aromatic, remove and discard the garlic. It has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the potatoes, season with salt and brown the potatoes on each side. When the potatoes are brown on each side, add the mushrooms and season with salt. Saute the mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes. When the mushrooms have become soft and aromatic, add in the cherry peppers and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pepper vinegar (more if you like things REALLY spicy). Add the vinegar in baby steps, it can make things VERY spicy and there will not be any recovery. Check for seasoning and season with salt if needed (it will). Toss in the chives. Transfer the potato mixture to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately with the veal chops drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Mouthwateringly spicy and delicious!

VEAL CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
• When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
• Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Select a dish large enough to hold the veal chops in a single layer. In the dish combine the lemon juice with one-fourth cup of olive oil, the garlic, salt and pepper and rosemary. Add the chops, turn them to coat all sides and allow to marinate for one-and-a-half hours, refrigerated.
• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Seed the peppers and cut them into inch-wide strips lengthwise. Brush with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. A good way to do this is to place the peppers, oil and seasonings in a plastic bag and shake them.
• Start grilling the peppers. When they are just beginning to sear, place the chops on the grill and grill them over very hot coals to the desired degree of doneness. They should take eight to 10 minutes for medium. Remove the chops and the pepper strips as they are done and arrange them on a platter.
• Serve at once, hot, or within 30 minutes at room temperature.

PEACH AND BLACK PEPPER VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine marinade mix, peach nectar, and veal chops. Squeeze out air and seal bag. Massage bag to ensure chops are coated. Refrigerate 3 to 6 hours to marinate.
• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Oil the grill grate when ready to start cooking.
• Prepare glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat. Combine jam, bourbon, and cracked peppercorns. Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Remove chops from marinade and let come to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Discard marinade. Grill chops on hot, oiled grill for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brush with glaze. Cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and glaze for 1 minute. Remove from heat and brush once more with glaze. Serve hot.
• INDOOR: Prepare and marinate chops as directed. Remove chops from marinade and discard marinade. Pat chops dry with paper towel. Place on foil line baking sheet or broiling pan and broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until well seared on 1 side, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Turn and brush with glaze and return to broiler and cook for 1 minute; turn and glaze and cook for 1 minute more for medium. To check for doneness, make a small cut in the thickest part of the meat; it should be slightly less done than you like it. Allow the chops to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (internal temperature will continue to rise). Brush with more glaze and serve.
