PAN ROASTED VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Remove chops from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking to let them come up to room temperature. Pat them dry.
• Slice and thoroughly wash the leeks. They grow in very sandy soil, and sand and dirt can get trapped in all the layers of leaves, so make sure to rinse them several times.
• Roughly chop the leeks.
• Mince shallot and thyme.
• Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and sweat the shallot and leeks over low heat covered for approx. 10-12 minutes. They should be very soft and translucent but not take on any color.
• Turn the heat up to medium, and add the veal/beef stock. Simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes, then re-cover and set aside. The leek/shallot mixture should be moist but not swimming in stock at this point.
• Meanwhile, heat your oven proof pan over medium-high heat for three or four minutes.
• Add the canola oil and heat until the oil shimmers.
• Season the veal chops with salt and pepper and cook over med-high heat for approx. 3 minutes until browned.
• Flip the chops over and cook for another minute, then slide the oven proof pan into the hot oven for 6-9 minutes, depending on how you like your meat done. (See my meat doneness chart)
• While the chops are roasting in the oven, add the thyme to the shallot and leeks, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat to warm up.
• To serve, spoon half the onion/leek mixture onto each plate, then set the veal chops on top of the mixture and serve.

SEARED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED RADISHES AND HARICOTS VERTS, BLACK OLIVES, PINE NUTS, FENNEL AND SCALLOPED POTATO CAKE WITH GOAT CHEESE AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add the goat cheese and dill into a small bowl and mix to combine. Place roughly a teaspoon of olive oil into the bottom of each muffin tin. Add 2 slices of the potato into the bottom of the muffin tin and season with kosher salt. Add a few crumbles of the dill goat cheese, another layer of potato and drizzle of olive oil. Repeat this process with potato, kosher salt, dill goat cheese and olive oil until the muffin tins are filled to the top. Place into the oven and bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes, turning the pan halfway through.
• Add the golden raisins, white wine vinegar and sugar to a small bowl. Stir to combine, then let steep for 20 minutes to plump the raisins. Drain and set aside.
• Set up a pot of boiling water and season generously with kosher salt; it should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with kosher salt. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and tender, but still slightly crisp. Remove the haricots verts and immediately plunge into the ice bath and set aside.
• Add the radishes to a large bowl with a large drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste. Spread the radishes onto a sheet tray, arranging them flat side down. Transfer into the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
• Mix the cumin and fennel pollen in a small bowl. Sprinkle the lamb chops liberally with the seasoning mix (reserving a small amount) and kosher salt on both sides. Heat a large sauté pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops, in batches, until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the lamb chops onto a sheet tray and place into the oven to finish cooking for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium-rare.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the smashed garlic to a large high-sided pan. Turn on the heat to medium and swirl the pan to infuse the oil with the garlic. Add the fennel, anchovies, shallot, lemon segments, kalamata olives and kosher salt to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove the garlic. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the fennel begins to soften. Then add the white wine and cook until reduced by half. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken stock and a pinch of the reserved seasoning mix. Stir to combine, then add the plumped raisins and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Swirl to melt, then add the remaining tablespoon butter. Stir in half of the pine nuts.
• Heat a large sauté pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the blanched haricots verts, roasted radishes and kosher salt to taste. Toss to warm through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Set up a fryer with vegetable oil and heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the capers until crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful because they will pop in the oil. Remove the capers onto a paper-towel-lined sheet tray.
• To serve, plate the scalloped potato cakes, followed by the haricots verts and radishes. Lay the lamb chops over the top, and then the sauce. Garnish with the fried capers, micro fines herbs, micro thyme, a dusting of fennel pollen and fennel fronds and the remaining pine nuts.

• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven; roast chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.

Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into a chop registers 155°F (do not touch bone), 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).
• While chops are roasting, mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large heavy knife), then transfer half of paste to a bowl and whisk in 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer chops to a plate and keep warm. Add shallot and remaining garlic paste to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and remaining tablespoon vinegar and boil, scraping up brown bits, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Add broth and rosemary and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, swirling skillet to incorporate, then stir in any veal juices accumulated on plate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add arugula to dressing and toss to coat. Serve chops with sauce and arugula.
