VEAL WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND LEMON
This Roman dish is simple to prepare and takes little time, perfect for a spring dinner party or a weeknight dinner for a family. Make sure the veal is pounded thin, and cook each side until just brown. Serve it warm, with a salad and a good crusty baguette. (The New York Times)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
- Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
- Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

VEAL WITH LEMON AND CAPERS
Steps:
- Pour the flour mixture on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off the excess, set aside. Melt butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium fire. Add scaloppini to skillet and brown on both sides. Set aside until all the veal has been cooked. After the veal has been removed from the pan, add the chicken stock to the pan over high heat and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. Cook until the liquid has thickened. Straining the liquid may be necessary to remove the larger pieces of the scrapings. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, capers, lemon juice and parsley to sauce. Stir over a high heat about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the veal. Garnish with sliced lemons and serve.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH OLIVES, CAPERS, AND SAGE
I found this on the internet and Russell cooked it tonight for a special dinner for the two of us. Veal chops are almost my favourite meat, and I have beautiful sage in the garden right now. I have to admit we didn't do the bit about frying the sage leaves for garnish, but it was still wonderful over creamy mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Mince garlic and mash with salt. In a small bowl stir together garlic paste, herbs, pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil. Pat veal chops dry.

Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in one layer in a shallow baking pan with shallots and roast in upper third of oven 20 minutes. Halve and pit olives. While vegetables are roasting, in a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear chops in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chops as seared to another shallow baking pan (do not wash skillet).
- Reduce temperature to 375°F. Transfer shallots and tomatoes to lower third of oven and put chops in upper third of oven. Roast vegetables until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Roast chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into chops registers 160°F. for medium, 20 to 25 minutes.

- When chops are cooked, pour any meat juices from baking pan into wine mixture and bring jus to a boil. Cut butter into pieces and add with olives to jus. Swirl skillet to incorporate butter and boil until jus is slightly thickened. Season jus with salt and pepper. Serve chops over polenta with shallots and tomatoes, drizzled with olive jus.

- Roast the tomatoes until they are caramelized: This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano, will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Serve the veal chops with a simple sauce: A simple sauce, such as a lemon-caper sauce, will complement the flavor of the veal chops without overpowering it.
