Number Of Ingredients 14

Sherry gastrique:
2 cups cream sherry
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
2/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
Veal chops:
6 1-to 1 1/4-inch-thick veal rib chops coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
All purpose flour
2 tablespoons chicken fat or olive oil, divided
1/3 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Roasted Peperonata

Steps:

  • For sherry gastrique:
  • Boil all ingredients in large saucepan until reduced to generous 2/3 cup, about 30 minutes. DO AHEAD: can be made 3 days ahead. Cool, cover, and chill.
  • For veal chops:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle veal on each side with coarse salt, pepper, 1/8 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon thyme; dust generously with flour. Heat 1 tablespoon chicken fat in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 chops. Sear until brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining veal chops.
  • Place chops in oven and roast until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-rare (135°F). Transfer chops to plates. Reserve baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, stir broth and cornstarch in small bowl to dissolve. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Add broth mixture, gastrique, and any juices from baking sheet to skillet. Bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Boil until sauce thickens to desired consistency.
  • Spoon gastrique over each chop. Serve with peperonata and remaining gastrique.
  • What to drink:
  • This dish needs a red wine with good acidity. The HAGAFEN 2008 NAPA VALLEY PINOT NOIR is top tier, and it's kosher. (California, $32).

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large bell peppers (preferably 3 red, 1 orange, and 1 green)
3 tablespoons golden raisins
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 1/2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 pinches of cayenne pepper coarse kosher salt
Ingredient info: Smoked paprika is available in the spice section of most super markets.

Steps:

  • Char peppers directly over gas flame or in broiler. Enclose in plastic bag; steam 15 to 30 minutes. Peel, seed, and cut peppers into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Mix peppers, raisins, oil, garlic, capers, vinegar, thyme, paprika, and cayenne in large bowl. Season with coarse salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm peppers. This will ensure that they roast evenly and have a good flavor.
  • Cut the peppers into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them caramelize and develop flavor.
  • Roast the peppers at a high temperature. This will help them blister and develop a smoky flavor.
  • Stir the peppers occasionally. This will prevent them from burning.
  • Roast the peppers until they are tender and slightly charred. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool. This will make them easier to handle.
  • Serve the peperonata warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
