Veal chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the most popular methods is to pan-sear them and then finish them in a flavorful sauce. This recipe for veal chops with tomato orange basil sauce is a perfect example of this technique. The chops are first seared until golden brown, then simmered in a rich sauce made with fresh tomatoes, oranges, and basil. The result is a dish that is both elegant and easy to make.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add veal chops, and sear until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they have released all of their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the wine, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cream, return chops to pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently 30 minutes. Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; pass potatoes through a potato ricer, and return to saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
- Pour warm sauce over the chops and mashed potatoes, and serve with greens on the side.

Steps:
- Pound the veal (or have the butcher do this ahead of time) to a 1/4-inch thin and broad cutlet, leaving the bone still attached. Set aside while you prepare the breading setup. Put the flour on a dish large enough to dredge the veal on. Combine the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper in a large bowl or dish with sides high enough to hold the liquid and veal chops.
- Next, combine the bread crumbs, parsley and Parmesan cheese in a large flat casserole so that the process of breading may be kept neat and tidy.
- Make the tomato vinaigrette by combining the diced tomato with the shredded basil leaves in a bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the 1/3 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the veal cutlets one at a time, or if they are small enough and your pan is large enough, two at a time. As you saute the veal, brown one side and keep the veal warm in a 250 degree oven while the rest are cooked. Serve the veal with a generous spoonful of the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette over the top.
GRILLED VEAL CHOP WITH FRESH GARLIC AND BASIL
Steps:
- Put 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive on a plate; sprinkle white pepper on the extra virgin olive oil. Take the veal chop and lightly coat it on both sides with the extra virgin olive oil and white pepper mixture. Then grill or broil the veal chop to your preference. When the veal chop is cooked remove from heat. Set aside on a warm platter.
- Using a non stick pan heat the 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil add the garlic and let it brown for 3 minutes, add 8 ounces of water and 10 leaves of basil, stem and all. Add in 3 teaspoons of flour; let everything amalgamate and using a wooden spoon stir for 10 minutes to create the flavor of the sauce and thickness. After the sauce is ready remove from heat, strain and serve on top of the veal chop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if needed.
GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH RAW SAUCE
The "sauce" in this recipe is actually a tomato-spinach salad. You can pile it on top of your veal chop or eat it on the side. Whichever way you want to eat it, make sure that you drizzle some of the balsamic dressing on the chop. Delish!

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt and 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 heat.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil on a plate.
- Place the chops on the plate and turn in the oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill is ready, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes.
- Before flipping, turn the heat down to medium or move to a little off the side of the grill for more indirect heat.
- Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, then 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 some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a skillet, and sauté the chops very briefly to brown them lightly on both sides. Remove them from the pan.

- Return the chops to the pan and cook gently, turning them over once, for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sauce is rich, adding a drop of water if it becomes too dry. Serve with chopped parsley on top.
VEAL WITH ORANGE SAUCE
From fridge to table, a really quick mid-week recipe with only a few ingredients that are readily on hand: veal cooked in an orange and wine sauce. Adapted from 'Colour Me Healthy' by Rita Erlich and Dr Alice Murkies and an earlier recipe of my own. When I came across this recipe in 'Colour Me Healthy', I dug out a recipe I'd had in my very first hand-written recipe book from the early seventies when so many of the influences on Australian cuisine were only just beginning to make a ripple and so many of our recipes were still basically derived from English recipes. Although I suffered English school meals as a child, there really is a lot more to English - and earlier Australian - cuisine than chops and three veg! I am, therefore, posting this as both an English and an Australian recipe.
