Best 9 Veal Chops With Spinach Green Pepper Salsa Recipes

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.

VEAL CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
• When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
• Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

VEAL CHOPS WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet with oven safe handle over medium high heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the chops with salt and pepper. To hot skillet, add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, then the chops. Brown the veal for 2 minutes on each side, remove from pan to a plate. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, then the garlic and sweet peppers. Cook garlic and sweet peppers 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then add the wine to the pan. Return the chops to the pan with the peppers and transfer the pan to the oven. Cook the chops and peppers 12 to 15 minutes until juices run clear near the bone. Remove the pan from oven and add hot peppers and a splash of pepper juice. Transfer chops to a serving platter. Spoon juices and peppers evenly over the chops and garnish with parsley.

PAN-ROASTED VEAL STUFFED WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Remove any large, thick stems from the spinach and rinse the leaves in cold water. Put the spinach in a pot with just the water that clings to the leaves and sprinkle with salt. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until all the spinach is wilted. Drain in a colander and press with a large spoon to remove as much water as possible.
• Lay the veal flat and trim the excess fat (do not remove all of it, or the roast will be too dry when done). Spread the spinach over the veal and add the garlic cloves evenly spaced apart. Roll up the veal jelly-roll fashion and tie it securely with kitchen twine.
• Put the butter and vegetable oil in a heavy braising pan that will hold the veal comfortably and place it over high heat. When the oil and butter are hot, put in the veal and brown it well on all sides. Season with salt and pepper, then add the wine. Allow the wine to bubble for 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate the alcohol and use a wooden spoon to loosen the tasty bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes. When they begin to bubble, lower the heat so that the contents of the pan cook at a gentle but steady simmer. Cover the pan with the lid slightly askew and cook until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn the meat from time to time and add a little water to the pan if all the liquid evaporates before the veal is done.
• When ready to serve, cut the veal in slices about 1/2 inch thick and remove the twine. If the sauce in the pan needs to be reduced, raise the heat and cook until it is thick enough to coat a spoon. Arrange the veal slices on a platter and pour the hot sauce over them. Serve at once.

PAN-SEARED VEAL STEAKS WITH GREEN PEPPERCORNS

Steps:

• Put veal steaks on a platter and season on both sides with salt. Sprinkle with lemon zest, garlic and thyme sprigs and set aside for an hour (or refrigerate for up to 3 hours, then bring to room temperature). Just before cooking, scrape aromatics from steaks and dust lightly on both sides with flour.
• Put olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal steaks and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean, then add butter and diced shallot. Season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until shallot is soft and beginning to color, about 3 minutes.
• Turn heat to high, add peppercorns and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and simmer until reduced by nearly half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add crème fraîche and brandy and stir to incorporate. Return veal to pan and continue simmering until sauce thickens a bit, about 2 minutes more.
• Distribute steaks among 4 warmed plates. Spoon sauce over steaks, sprinkle with parsley and crispy shallot, if using, and serve immediately.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Select a dish large enough to hold the veal chops in a single layer. In the dish combine the lemon juice with one-fourth cup of olive oil, the garlic, salt and pepper and rosemary. Add the chops, turn them to coat all sides and allow to marinate for one-and-a-half hours, refrigerated.
• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Seed the peppers and cut them into inch-wide strips lengthwise. Brush with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. A good way to do this is to place the peppers, oil and seasonings in a plastic bag and shake them.
• Start grilling the peppers. When they are just beginning to sear, place the chops on the grill and grill them over very hot coals to the desired degree of doneness. They should take eight to 10 minutes for medium. Remove the chops and the pepper strips as they are done and arrange them on a platter.
• Serve at once, hot, or within 30 minutes at room temperature.

VEAL CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC PAN SAUCE AND SPINACH SALAD WITH PECANS, PEARS, AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they smell toasty and they are golden brown. Remove the nuts from the oven and cool them completely.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan). Liberally season the veal chops with salt, pepper, and sage. Once the skillet is screaming hot and you see the first wafts of smoke rising, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around in the pan; you want a nice brown crust on them and messing with them won't help you get there. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium; flip and cook them on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest under a foil tent for about 5 minutes.
• While the chops are resting, make the sauce. To the same skillet, add a drizzle more EVOO, the onion, and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the balsamic vinegar and chicken stock and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, prepare the salad. In a salad bowl, combine the juice of 1 lemon with about 3 tablespoons of EVOO and a little salt and pepper. Add the sliced pear and toss to coat. Add the spinach, reserved toasted pecans, and crumbled Gorgonzola or Maytag Blue cheese. Toss to combine and coat.
• Turn the heat off the balsamic pan sauce, add the cold butter, and swirl until completely melted. Serve each chop with a little balsamic pan sauce and a serving of the spinach salad.

VEAL ROLLS STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND GRUYèRE

Steps:

• Mash anchovy paste into 4 tablespoons butter in a bowl until combined. Gently pound cutlets to slightly less than 1/8 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin. Pat cutlets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper, then spread 1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy butter over top of each cutlet. (You will have a little butter left over.) Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over anchovy butter, leaving a 1/4-inch border, then arrange spinach leaves, overlapping in 1 layer, to cover cutlets. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, arrange with a short side nearest you and roll up tightly, then secure with a wooden pick.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Pat rolls dry. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté veal, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and bake veal until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer veal with tongs to a platter (reserve skillet) and keep warm, covered.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then add wine and deglaze skillet by boiling (on stovetop) over high heat, scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then add any juices accumulated on platter and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons butter (not remaining anchovy butter). Cook over low heat until incorporated. Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

VEAL CHOPS WITH SPINACH AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the veal and sear until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Lower the heat and cook about 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Add the pancetta to the pan stirring, until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Begin adding spinach, turning with tongs, adding more as it wilts until all is in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
• Season the chops with salt and pepper to taste, divide among 4 plates, and spoon spinach mixture on top. Serve immediately.
