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.

VEAL CHOPS WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet with oven safe handle over medium high heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the chops with salt and pepper. To the hot skillet, add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, then the chops. Brown the veal for 2 minutes on each side, transfer from the pan to a plate. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, then the garlic and sweet peppers. Cook garlic and sweet peppers 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then add the wine to the pan. Return the chops to the pan with the peppers and transfer the pan to the oven. Cook the chops and peppers 12 to 15 minutes until juices run clear near the bone. Remove the pan from oven and add hot peppers and a splash of pepper juice. Transfer chops to a serving platter. Spoon juices and peppers evenly over the chops and garnish with parsley.

VEAL CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER

Steps:

• Whisk butter, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and pinch of salt in small bowl to blend. Wrap rosemary butter in plastic wrap, forming 1 1/2-inch-diameter log. Chill at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Arrange chops in single layer in large baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub oil and seasonings into chops. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.)
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rosemary sprig and garlic. Sauté until garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Discard rosemary sprig and garlic. Increase heat to high. Add chops; cook until chops are browned and meat thermometer inserted horizontally into center reads 130°F, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chops to plate. Pour off drippings from pan. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add wine to skillet and cook until reduced to about 2 teaspoons, scraping up browned bits, about 30 seconds. Add chicken broth; cook until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 30 seconds. Drizzle over chops.
• Cut rosemary butter into 4 slices. Place 1 slice atop each chop and serve.

ARTICHOKE VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Trim fat from veal chops. Rub cracked pepper over chops.
• Coat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chops, and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned.Remove chops from skillet; set aside. Wipe drippings from skillet with a paper towel.
• Place green pepper and next 4 ingredients in skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in artichoke hearts. Return chops to skillet, spooning artichoke mixture over veal chops. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until veal is tender.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

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.

VEAL CHOPS WITH EGGPLANT AND PEPPER STUFFING AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the onion in the oil over moderately low heat until it is softened. Add the shallot, the garlic, the bell pepper, and the eggplant and cook the mixture, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the eggplant is softened. Stir in the tomato, the herbs de Provence, the sage, the basil, the parsley, the salt, and black pepper to taste, cook the stuffing, stirring, for 1 minute, and let it cool.
• With a sharp knife make a 1-inch-long incision along the fat side of each chop and cut a pocket in each chop by moving the knife back and forth carefully through the incision. Stuff each chop with half the stuffing and secure the pocket with wooden picks. Brush the chops with some of the oil and in a roasting pan brushed with the remaining oil roast them in a preheated 475°F. oven, basting them with any pan juices, for 7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through but the flesh is still slightly pink near the bone.
• Transfer the chops to a cutting board, let them stand for 3 minutes, and discard the wooden picks. Arrange the chops on heated plates, pour the sauce, heated, on the plates, and sprinkle each serving with some of the parsley.
• In a blender blend together the bell pepper, the oil, the lemon juice, the vinegar, the cayenne, 1 tablespoon water, and salt and black pepper to taste.

VEAL CHOPS WITH SPINACH & GREEN PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• To marinate the veal chops, put the garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, olive oil and 1 /2 tsp salt in a container large enough to fit the chops. Give the marinade a quick stir, then add the chops and spoon the marinade all over them. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge for at least 6 hrs or overnight.
• To make the salsa, heat a heavy-based frying pan over a high heat. Add the vegetable oil and, once hot, throw in the peppers. Stir-fry to char the edges of the peppers, then sprinkle with salt and remove from the pan to cool. Next, add the garlic, olive oil, zest and spinach to a food processor, and pulse until you have a chunky paste. Pour into a bowl, add the green chilli and charred green pepper, then season a little.
• To make the steak seasoning, mix the paprika and polenta with 1 /2 tsp salt. Remove the chops from the marinade and wipe off any sliced garlic or herbs and excess oil. Sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the chops.
• Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Cook the chops for 3 mins until they have nice char marks, then rotate them 45 degrees and cook for 3 mins more so that the chops have 'crosshatched' marks. Turn the chops over and cook for 3 mins only on this side, then remove from the griddle and rest on a plate for 4 mins. Put the chops on serving plates and spoon over the salsa.

VEAL CHOP WITH PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil with butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Once browned, stir in mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and rosemary; cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in red wine, increase heat, and cook, uncovered, until sauce is reduced by half. Veal chops may be removed at any time to prevent over-cooking, then returned to the pan for the final minute.
• Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and serve.
