Steps:

• Mix the tomato, onion, olives, capers, basil, chili peppers, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the vinegar together in a bowl. Add salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill or broiler. Brush the veal chops with the remaining olive oil. Place them on a hot grill or under the broiler, and cook, turning them once. For medium rare to medium, cooking time is 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

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. Cook for 1 minute and adjust seasoning to taste. Strain jus over each chop and serve garnished with fresh sage leaves.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH RAW SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt and 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 heat.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil on a plate.
• Place the chops on the plate and turn in the oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
• Once the grill is ready, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes.
• Before flipping, turn the heat down to medium or move to a little off the side of the grill for more indirect heat.
• Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, then 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 some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.
