BRAISED RICE WITH LAMB CHOPS, SAUSAGES AND VEAL STRIPS TOPPED WITH MUSHROOMS AND A BASIL TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a heaping tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan with 1 tablespoon of margarine and add onions. When the onions are slightly brown add the garlic and continue to stir. Add the rice to the pan, and pour in about 1 cup of champagne. As the rice begins to cook, add a pinch of salt and stir continuously.
• Pour some olive oil on the lamb chops and sprinkle some parsley flakes on them. Then add the lamb and sausages to a hot grill and cook well on both sides.
• Slice the veal and sear the pieces in a hot frying pan on both sides. Once cooked through, add the veal, chopped sausages and lamb chops to the rice mixture.
• In a separate frying pan heat 1 tablespoon of butter and saute the sliced mushrooms. Once cooked, add them to the rice mixture.
• Heat the tomato sauce in a pan and add 3 pinches of dried basil. Add the sauce to the rice mixture and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the top.
• Finally cut up a bundle of scallions and sprinkle over the rice and serve.

UMBRIAN-STYLE VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• For the dressing: Place the basil, oil, mint, marjoram, vinegar, anchovy paste, rosemary, salt, pepper, garlic, lemon juice and onion in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until chunky. Let the mixture stand for 20 minutes.
• For the veal chops: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chops with the salt and pepper. Cook to medium rare, 10 to 12 minutes, turning the chops over halfway through the cooking time. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes.
• Spoon the dressing on top of the chops and serve.

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.

GRILLED VEAL CHOP WITH FRESH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Put 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive on a plate; sprinkle white pepper on the extra virgin olive oil. Take the veal chop and lightly coat it on both sides with the extra virgin olive oil and white pepper mixture. Then grill or broil the veal chop to your preference. When the veal chop is cooked remove from heat. Set aside on a warm platter.
• Using a non stick pan heat the 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil add the garlic and let it brown for 3 minutes, add 8 ounces of water and 10 leaves of basil, stem and all. Add in 3 teaspoons of flour; let everything amalgamate and using a wooden spoon stir for 10 minutes to create the flavor of the sauce and thickness. After the sauce is ready remove from heat, strain and serve on top of the veal chop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if needed.

VEAL CHOPS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet, and sauté the chops very briefly to brown them lightly on both sides. Remove them from the pan.
• Fry the onion in the same oil until golden. Add the garlic and stir until the aroma rises. Then add the tomatoes and season with sugar, salt, and pepper.
• Return the chops to the pan and cook gently, turning them over once, for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sauce is rich, adding a drop of water if it becomes too dry. Serve with chopped parsley on top.

VEAL CUTLETS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juices, basil, parsley, oregano and dried red pepper. Bring sauce to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until flavors blend and sauce thickens slightly, scraping up browned bits, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange cutlets atop sauce.
