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).

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.
