Grilled Veal Chops with Raw Sauce
From superfoodman 14 years agoIngredients
- 4 vine ripe tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges, each wedge cut in 1/2 shopping list
- 1/2 cup, 10 leaves, fresh basil leaves, torn shopping list
- 1 handful flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped shopping list
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar shopping list
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided shopping list
- 4 bone-in rib veal chops about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick shopping list
- 1 pound fresh spinach, trimmed of thick stems and washed shopping list
- 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped shopping list
How to make it
- 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.

Nice touch here. Simple yet kinda elegant. Veal chops are about like hen's teeth here but I bet this will work with some nice lamb chops. Okay, a different taste but you got to play the hand you're dealt. Five tongs for you mate. RJ
