GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH RAW SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt, 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-high heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it, on a plate. Place chops on plate and turn in extra-virgin olive oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Once the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around, you want nice grill markings and a good crust on them. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium or move chops a little off to the side on an outdoor grill for more indirect heat. Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, 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 out some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

VEAL CHOPS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Place the veal chops in a large nonreactive pan. Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the lemon juice. Stir in 10 coarsely chopped sage leaves. Pour the mixture over the chops, cover and refrigerate for several hours, turning the chops occasionally.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place 2 large skillets over high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade and remove and discard any pieces of sage that may be clinging to them. Sprinkle each chop generously with salt and pepper. Divide the remaining 3 tablespoons oil between the pans. When the oil is very hot, place 2 chops in each pan and cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is browned and the chops are cooked to the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes, depending on their thickness. Place the chops on a platter, cover with foil and put them in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
• Pour the grease out of 1 pan and add the wine. Add 5 chopped sage leaves and place over medium heat. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has reduced to about 1/4 of its original volume. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the veal chops to 4 plates and pour the sauce over them. Garnish each plate with a few whole sage leaves and serve immediately with potato galettes (see recipe) and pan-grilled scallions with sea salt (see recipe) if desired.
