MARSALA BRAISED VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 Season the veal shops with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large, nonstick skillet gently brown the chops on both sides in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the browned chops in a wide shallow baking pan. Add the carrot, celery and 1/2 cup onion to the skillet and saute until lightly browned. Deglaze the pan with the marsala. Stir in the tomato paste and boil for 3 minutes. Pour this liquid over the chops, cover the baking pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours. Mean while, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet. Add remaining onion, thyme, marjoram, and anchovies and cook over moderate heat until the onion is softened about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic and cook until the mixture is dry. Stir in pine nuts, season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. To serve reheat spinach mixture over low heat, stir in cheese, Serve alongside veal chop, spoon sauce on top of chop.

VEAL CHOPS WITH FONTINA

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack to accommodate the covered saucepan, and heat the oven to 400°.
• Trim the chops, leaving only a thin layer of fat. With a sharp, thin knife, slice horizontally into the outer edge of each chop, splitting the meaty portion in two almost all the way to the bone, forming a pocket for stuffing. With the mallet, pound and spread the meaty part, flattening it to 1/2-inch thickness. Lift the top flap of the meat you just sliced apart, hold it up, and pound the bottom flap of meat a few more times, spreading it thinner and wider than the upper flap. When all the chops are sliced and pounded, salt them on both sides, using a teaspoon in all.
• Toss together the shredded fontina and the grana (grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), and divide the cheeses into six equal portions. One at a time, lightly compress the cheese portions into oval patties, and slip them into the sliced chop pockets. Fold the larger bottom meat flap over the top flap-enclosing the cheese-and thread a toothpick through both flaps to keep them together. (The chops can be prepared up to this point a day in advance, sealed in plastic wrap, and refrigerated.)
• Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil in the big pan, and set over medium-high heat. Spread the flour on a plate, dredge each chop on both sides, shake off excess flour, and lay it in the pan. When all the chops are in the pan, drop the sage leaves in between them. Cook the chops for 5 minutes or more, turning them once or twice, until well browned on both sides.
• Clear a space in the pan bottom, drop in the tomato paste, and toast it in the hot spot for a minute. Pour the wine over the tomato paste, stir them together, and shake the pan to distribute the liquid. Bring it to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes or so, to reduce.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk it into the pan liquid. Turn the chops over, pour in the chicken stock, sprinkle on the remaining salt, and bring to a boil.
• Cover the pan, and place in the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes, then remove the cover and roast another 10 minutes or so, until the chops are done and the sauce has thickened.
• Remove from the oven, and place the chops on a warm platter. (Drape a towel over the handle of the pan when it comes out of the oven to remind you it is very hot.) If the sauce is thin, put the pan over high heat and reduce until the sauce has the consistency you like.
• Serve right away-while the cheese is still oozing-arranging all the chops on a warm platter and spooning the sauce over, family-style, or on warm dinner plates with mashed potatoes alongside and sauce drizzled over. (If you do have fresh white truffle, shave it on the top of each chop at this moment.)

• Bring the same pan back up to temperature and add the butter. Add the shallots and mushrooms and saute for 2- 3 minutes until softened. Add the stock, season and add a splash of Marsala and allow to reduce.

Add the courgette. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Take off the heat and dress with the a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar; check the seasoning. Finally add the parsley and keep warm until ready to serve.
• To finish the Marsala sauce mix through the diced tomatoes, chervil and tarragon. Return the veal back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top to heat it through.
