Veal Chop Valdostana
Veal Chop Valdostana
This is a classic veal dish from Northern Italy–which is where the “Val d’Aosta” of the name is located. It’s a distinctly Italian version of a dish that’s also found else where in Europe, although the Val d’Aosta folks claim it’s original to them. What we have here is a veal chop stuffed with ham and cheese–specifically prosciutto and Fontina.
Author: The New Orleans Menu
Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 veal chops, 12 oz. each including bone
- 4 oz. Fontina cheese
- 4 large, thin slices prosciutto
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 6 oz. butter
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoons chopped onions
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 8 oz. exotic mushrooms (porcini, shiitake, or portobello, to name a few examples), sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 cup whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the Fontina cheese into four thick, narrow, long slices.
- Wrap the prosciutto around the cheese. Cut a slit in the side of each veal chop.
- Insert the prosciutto-wrapped cheese into the slits deep enough so it can’t come out.
- Mix the salt and white pepper into the flour, and sprinkle this on the veal chops. (Don’t dredge.)
- Pass each veal chop through the beaten egg to to get it good and wet. Then dredge through bread crumbs to coat thoroughly.
- Heat the olive oil very hot in a large skillet. Brown the chops, two at a time, to a medium-dark, crusty brown on both sides.
- Remove the chops and repeat with the second two.
- Put all four chops onto a roasting pan and into the oven at 450 degrees.
- Roast the chops for 12-15 minutes, until top is brown and crusty and the cheese is oozing out the sides a little.
- After cooking all chops, pour the excess oil from the skillet, leaving only a film.
- Return to medium heat and add the butter, onions, and garlic, and cook until the onions are clear.
- Add the white wine and bring to a boil, whisking the bottom of the pan to dissolve the pan juices.
- Reduce the wine by about half, then add the mushrooms and cook until they’re soft.
- Whisk in the whipping cream and bring to a light boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for two or three more minutes to a light sauce consistency.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Nap the veal chops with the sauce and lots of the mushrooms.
