DOUBLE VEAL CHOPS WITH BRAISED SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet large enough to hold the veal chops in one layer, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add the veal trimmings. Over medium-high heat, brown for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the veal chops and garlic. Season well with sea salt and pepper. Cook the veal chops for about 10 minutes a side, moving the chops around the pan periodically. Remove the veal chops, leaving the garlic and the veal trimming in the pan. Drain all fat from the skillet.
• Add the chicken broth to the pan. Deglaze over high heat, reducing by half. Check seasonings. Return the veal chops to the pan with any of their accumulated juices. Remove from the heat, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, brown the pancetta over medium heat in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, and add the potatoes, carrots, onions, salsify and scallions. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, for 30 minutes.
• Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus, sugar snap peas and broccoli rabe. Return to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Drain well.
• Add remaining butter to the vegetable skillet. Add the drained vegetables. Check for seasonings.
• Slice the veal thinly and serve with vegetables and reduced pan juices. Include garlic cloves if desired.

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.

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.

ROASTED VEAL CHOPS WITH SHALLOTS, TOMATOES, AND OLIVE JUS

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash with salt. In a small bowl stir together garlic paste, herbs, pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil. Pat veal chops dry. Reserve 1 tablespoon herb mixture for sauce and rub remainder evenly onto chops. Veal chops can be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Chill reserved herb mixture, covered.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Quarter shallots and tomatoes lengthwise and in a bowl toss with 1 tablespoon oil, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in one layer in a shallow baking pan with shallots and roast in upper third of oven 20 minutes. Halve and pit olives. While vegetables are roasting, in a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear chops in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chops as seared to another shallow baking pan (do not wash skillet).
• Reduce temperature to 375°F. Transfer shallots and tomatoes to lower third of oven and put chops in upper third of oven. Roast vegetables until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Roast chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into chops registers 160°F. for medium, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While chops and vegetables are roasting, pour wine into skillet with reserved herb mixture and boil, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Boil mixture until reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Add broth and boil mixture until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
• When chops are cooked, pour any meat juices from baking pan into wine mixture and bring jus to a boil. Cut butter into pieces and add with olives to jus. Swirl skillet to incorporate butter and boil until jus is slightly thickened. Season jus with salt and pepper. Serve chops over polenta with shallots and tomatoes, drizzled with olive jus.
