Broiled Veal Chop Alla Fiorentina Recipes

Steps:

• Lay out 2 medallions of veal and place 1 slice prosciutto and 1 slice fontina cheese on top of each piece of veal. Place a piece of veal on top of each to create a sandwiched effect and dust the outsides with flour. In a large saute pan, heat olive oil on medium heat, add veal and brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove excess oil, add mushrooms, Marsala wine and salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove veal to plates and spoon mushrooms and sauce over veal.

Steps:

• Rub the chops with the garlic and rosemary, 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper and let sit on a plate for 15 minutes. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add remaining oil. Add chops to pan and cook until golden brown and then flip. Remove chops from pan to a baking dish and roast in 375 degrees F. oven for 10 minutes. Add wine and stock to cast iron pan and stir up brown bits from bottom. Serve chops with juice from pan.

Steps:

• For the risotto: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Toast the rice, then add the chopped onion and cook until light brown with a nutty aroma. Keep stirring to prevent sticking during this process. Deglaze with the white wine and add the porcini broth. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring the whole time to prevent sticking. Add more liquid as needed. Fold in the porcini at the end.
• For the veal chop cutlet: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pound out the veal chop to about 3/8 inch thickness. Put the flour in one shallow bowl, the whisked eggs in another and the breadcrumbs in a third. Dust the veal in the flour first, then dip in the egg wash and finish in the breadcrumbs to coat.
• Pour the olive oil into an ovensafe pan. Add the veal chop to the pan and coat one side in the olive oil, then flip it over right away so there's olive oil on both sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, flipping the cutlet halfway through.
• For the Marsala wine sauce: Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for a few minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and add the Marsala and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper, then finish with the butter and chopped parsley
• Remove the veal pan from the oven and place the prosciutto on top of the cutlet followed by the mozzarella. Return it to the oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes
• For the spinach bed. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook until beginning to brown, then add the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is just wilted, then transfer to a serving plate; do not overcook.
• Top the spinach with a serving of the risotto, followed by the veal chop and Marsala sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine heavy cream, eggs, and cheese, and whisk until well blended. Place veal chop in mixture and let stand for 30 minutes. In separate bowl place bread crumbs then place veal chop in bread crumbs coating entire veal chop. In a non-stick pan, add olive oil and heat on medium. When the oil is hot, place the veal chop in the pan and brown on both sides. Place browned veal chop in the oven for 15 minutes for medium doneness.
• To Plate:
• Place soft polenta on center of plate, then Broccoli Rabe off center and then veal chop -- drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil.
• Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute, then place in a cool water bath. In a hot saute pan add extra virgin olive oil, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Saute until garlic is golden brown, about 1 minute. Then add blanched broccoli rabe, salt, and pepper and cook until the broccoli is tender, but still crunchy.
• Combine the chicken broth and cream in a heavy saucepan and bring to simmer. Add salt and pepper. Whisk in the polenta very slowly over low heat for about 10 minutes. Whisk in cheese, then fold in mushrooms -- if not serving immediately, reheat by adding water and bringing back to a simmer.

• Add the oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown and beginning to look cooked around the edges, about 5 minutes. Flip the chops, lower the heat to medium and cook, searing the edges as well, until golden brown and the center reaches 140 to 145 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate to rest and carry-over cook.

Stir in any juices from the pork that have accumulated on the plate and cook for 2 minutes longer. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and serve.
