FRENCH VEAL CHOPS

VEAL CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE AND MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add veal chops, and sear until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they have released all of their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the wine, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cream, return chops to pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently 30 minutes. Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; pass potatoes through a potato ricer, and return to saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
• Pour warm sauce over the chops and mashed potatoes, and serve with greens on the side.

VEAL CHOPS SURPRISE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the shallots and sauté until softened. Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until all the moisture has evaporated, then spread the mixture on a plate to cool.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chops and brown lightly on both sides. Transfer to paper towels to drain, and pat dry.
• Cut six 12-by-10-inch rectangles of parchment paper. Melt the remaining 7 tablespoons butter. Position a rectangle of parchment so that the 10-inch side is directly in front of you. Brush with butter, and place a tablespoon of the mushroom mixture in the middle of the lower half of the rectangle. Top with a slice of ham, topped with a veal chop. Cover the veal with another slice of ham and another tablespoon of mushrooms. Repeat with the remaining pieces of parchment paper, veal chops, mushrooms and ham.
• Brush a 1/4 -inch border of egg white along the 3 edges of the lower half of the rectangles. Fold the upper half of the rectangle over the veal, and align the edges. Again brush the 3 edges with egg white, then fold and crimp the edges to make a strong seal. Continue until all six chops are encased in parchment. Brush the surface of the parchment with the remaining melted butter, and brush the crimped edges again with egg white. Lay the veal packets on a baking sheet and bake until the packets are puffed and brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer each packet to a plate to be opened at the table.

PERFECT VEAL CHOP RECIPE (QUICK AND EASY)

Steps:

• Place the veal chops in a shallow dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then add minced rosemary and thyme.
• Rub the olive oil and seasoning onto all sides of the veal chops.
• Let the veal chops marinate sit at room temperature for 15-60 minutes before cooking. (Ideally let them marinate for 1 hour. DO NOT skip this step, or your veal chops won't be cooked evenly.)
• Place a large skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until hot. Add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add smashed garlic and cook until the clove just turned brown. Discard the garlic.
• Increase the heat to high and then add the marinated veal chops to the pan (make sure the chops are at room temperature). Cook for about 2 minutes or until the undersides have turned golden brown.
• Flip the veal chops and cook the other side for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
• Add chicken broth to the pan. Once it starts to simmer, cover the pan with a lid and let the chops braise for 5- 8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. (Refer to the notes for other doneness levels.)
• Remove the chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm (Don't discard the juices in the pan). Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to let the juices retreat back into the meat.
• In the meantime, leave about 1/4 cup of the juices in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add wine, butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
• Pour the sauce over the chops. Serve and enjoy!

HERBED VEAL CHOPS WITH BACON AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the chops and season them lightly with pepper. Melt the 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12 inch skillet. When melted add the bacon and saute for a few minutes or until somewhat crisp. If there is not enough fat in the skillet, then add more butter and heat up. Add the veal chops and saute them over high heat for 2 minutes a side, or just until browned. Lower the heat and continue to cook them uncovered and without liquid for another 5 to 7 minutes a side or until just cooked through.
• Remove the chops to a plate. Add the shallots to the skillet and saute until cooked through about 2 minutes. Add the lime juice, water and deglaze the pan. Add the herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the chops.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH SAGE JUS

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet on low. Add garlic and sage leaves and cook very slowly for 30 minutes. Season veal chops with salt and pepper and brush with a little olive oil. Grill until medium-rare, about 15 minutes, turning once.
• Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan on high. Add chops and sear until just pink inside, 5 minutes more, turning once. Remove chops to 4 warmed dinner plates. Deglaze pan with stock or water and reduce over high heat to 1/2 cup of liquid, scraping bottom of pan to incorporate any browned bits. Reduce heat and add garlic-sage oil to the pan. Cook for 1 minute and adjust seasoning to taste. Strain jus over each chop and serve garnished with fresh sage leaves.

SILKY VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine Boursin, mustard and heavy cream; season with salt and pepper.
• In a heavy skillet melt the butter. Add the chops and brown for 4 minutes on each side. Discard the fat in the skillet, cover tightly, lower the heat and braise for about 5 minutes a side or until just done. Remove them to a broiler pan and preheat the broiler to a low setting
• Pour 1/4 cup of white wine into the skillet and scrape the bottom and corners with a wooden spatula to lift up the deglazings, reduce until 2 tablespoons remains. Add mustard, Boursin and cream mixture to skillet and mix until Boursin barely melts into cream. Remove skillet from heat and stir in Swiss cheese. Pour this over chops and broil, about 2 inches away from heat, for a moment or just until sauce browns and is bubbly.
