Veal Chops With Port Gorgonzola Sauce Recipe 45

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:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl big enough to hold all 4 chops. Add chops to marinade, and add water to almost cover chops. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade overnight. For the Port Sauce: Add olive oil to large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add onion, rosemary leaves and a good pinch of kosher salt, saute until onion begins to softened. Add veal trimmings and bacon and brown thoroughly. Add garlic, and combine until fragrant. Add port and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, remove chops from the marinade. Scrape off any solids, and pat chops dry. Drizzle chops with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high. Grill veal chops for 6-8 minutes per side. Rest for 5 minutes. To finish sauce, remove from heat and strain sauce. Return to pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce sauce to about 1/2 (your looking for a thicker consistency). When reduced, add cheese and stir to melt into sauce. Remove from heat, add butter and taste for seasoning.

Steps:

• Boil both stocks in medium saucepan until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Dredge veal in flour to coat; shake off excess. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add veal and sauté until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining veal, adding more oil to skillet as necessary.
• Add reduced stock mixture, cream, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 4 tablespoons basil and tomato paste to skillet. Simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, whisking frequently, about 5 minutes. Add 1/3 cup Gorgonzola; stir until melted.
• Pour sauce over veal. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons basil and 1/3 cup Gorgonzola.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place water on to boil for pasta. When it comes to a boil, salt the water and cook pasta to al dente. Drain.
• While pasta is working, place veal in a mixing bowl and add to it the egg, garlic, sage, bread crumbs, cheese, nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil into the bowl, mix and roll small 1-inch balls. Arrange balls in a single layer on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake 8 to 10 minutes in a hot oven until meat is golden and firm.
• Toast the walnuts and place them into a food processor. Grind the walnuts and reserve.
• In a deep skillet over medium heat melt butter. Whisk flour into butter and cook a minute then whisk in wine and reduce by half. Whisk in stock, when it bubbles and begins to reduce, stir in the cream and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer to thicken the sauce a bit, 2 to 3 minutes, melt in the Gorgonzola and stir in the ground walnuts then season the sauce with pepper, to taste, and maybe a pinch of salt.
• Shred the greens into thin strips.
• Toss the pasta with the sauce. Serve pasta garnished and topped with a generous mound of greens to mix in as you are eating.

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.

Steps:

• Boil both stocks together in a medium sauce pan until reduced to one cup, about 10 minutes.

• Repeat above steps with remaining veal, adding more oil to skillet as necessary.
• Add reduced stock mixture, cream, 1/2 cup of the chopped tomatoes, 4 TBS of the chopped basil and the tomato paste to skillet.
• Simmer until reduced to a"sauce" consistency, whisking frequently, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Boil both stocks in medium saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, dredge veal in flour, shaking off excess. Sauté veal until brown and cooked through, adding more oil to skillet as needed, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet; keep warm in oven.
• Add wine to same skillet and boil over medium-high heat until liquid is reduced by half, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add stock mixture and boil until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add cream and Gorgonzola; simmer until cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer veal to platter and spoon sauce over. Serve with Sweet-and-Sour Red Cabbage.

Steps:

• Prepare your fruit -- chop your apples, pears, apricots and cranberries and also chop your shallot.
• Remove your veal to take the chill off. Now this just takes one pan and goes quickly so get any other sides ready at this point. Wild rice is great and just cook away as you make the veal and sauce.
• Veal -- Salt and pepper both sides and stuff one side with the blue or gorgonzola cheese and a sprinkle of the fresh thyme and roll tightly. No need to add any more flavor to the veal, the sauce makes up for it. Seal with a tooth pick so they don't fall apart.
• Now, I don't want a heavy coating so I just moisten my hands with water to get the veal wet and then in a small plate or pie pan, add the flour and roll each piece of stuffed veal into the flour mix to cover well. I want a light crust for this.
• Sauteing -- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large saute pan. Saute the veal on each side until golden brown, it will not take long. Just a minute or two per side. The veal cooks very quickly and will continue to cook once off the heat. Remove the veal and cover with foil as you make the sauce. Maybe 9-10 minutes total on medium high heat.
• Sauce -- in the same pan you cooked the veal, on medium heat, add the shallot and cook a minute, then add the port wine, chicken broth to get up all the drippings. Add the fruit, thyme, rosemary and cook on a medium simmer until the dried fruit rehydrates and the fresh fruit cooks down. Just 4-5 minutes is all. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste is necessary.
• Well your side dish should be done, hopefully wild rice. So plate away -- rice, topped with 1 or 2 veal rolls and then top with the fruit sauce and ENJOY!
