1 large fresh thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon white sugar (2.5 ml)
1/2 cup dry white wine (120 ml)
salt and pepper

meat
6 8-oz veal loin or rib chops about 1-inch (2.2-cm) thick
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (15 ml)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (60 ml)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (30 ml)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme (30 ml)

glaze
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar (180 ml)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (15 ml)

Directions
To make the confit:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion, shallots, garlic, thyme and bay leaf.
Sprinkle the sugar on top.
Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are light brown and the mixture is well cooked.
Stir in the white wine and cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
Season with salt and pepper.
Keep warm while preparing the chops.

To cook the meat:
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Season the veal chops well with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil with the garlic, rosemary and thyme.
Spread the mixture over both sides of the chops.
Heat 2 oven-proof skillets over medium high heat.
Divide the 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of vegetable oil between the 2 skillets and, when hot, place 3 chops in each skillet.
Sear the meat for approximately 3 minutes per side.
Transfer to a shallow pan and place in the oven to keep warm while making the sauce.

To make the glaze:
Place one of the skillets over medium-high heat. Pour half of the balsamic vinegar into the first skillet and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the mixture into the second skillet. Pour in the remaining vinegar and again, scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the brown sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to cook until the mixture has reached a syrupy consistency.
Serve the chops with the caramelized con- fit and the sauce.

Veal Milanese

Veal Milanese is a staple on New York menus. This contemporary version is simplified for the home cook, using veal scaloppine (scallopini) instead of the classic rib chops. The dish is freshened up with an accompaniment of peppery arugula and tomato salad. If you make the salad in winter, when tomatoes are not in season, omit them.

serves 4

Veal Milanese RecipeIngredients
4 slices veal scaloppine, (scallopini) each about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1½ cups  fine dried bread crumbs (375 ml)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (125 ml)
2 tablespoons  minced fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley (30 ml)
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crumbled  (15 ml)
2 large eggs
1 cup  all-purpose flour (250 ml)
5 oz (140 g) arugula leaves, about 4 cups (1 litre)
1 cup  small sweet tomatoes, halved (250 ml)
extra-virgin olive oil
juice of ½ lemon
olive oil for frying
4 tablespoons  unsalted butter (60 ml)
wedge of Parmesan cheese
1 lemon, cut into eighths

Directions
Place each veal scallopini slice between sheets of plastic wrap.
Using a meat pounder or rolling pin, pound to a uniform thickness of 1/8 inch (3mm).
Season both sides with salt and pepper.

On a dinner plate, stir together the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, parsley, oregano, 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt and ½ teaspoon (2 ml) pepper.
Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat lightly.
Pour the flour on another dinner plate.
Dredge each veal scallopini slice in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
Dredge in the bread crumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto both sides.
Place the coated slices in a single layer on a tray.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

In a large bowl, combine the arugula and tomatoes.
Drizzle with enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat the leaves lightly.
Drizzle with the lemon juice, season to taste with salt and pepper, and gently toss.
Set aside.

Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
Put in enough olive oil to reach a depth of ¼ inch (6 mm) and add the butter.
When the butter melts and the mixture is hot but not smoking, working in batches, place the coated veal scallopini slices in the pan; do not crowd the slices.
Cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
Turn and cook on the second side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes longer.
Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Divide the veal scallopini slices among individual plates.
Mound the salad alongside, dividing it evenly.
Using a vegetable peeler or a cheese plane, cut 4 or 5 shavings from the Parmesan wedge over each salad.
Place 2 lemon wedges on each plate and serve.

Serve with a soft, non-acidic Pinot Noir  ( is a red wine grape most notably grown in Burgundy and Champagne, as well as California and Germany )

Saltimbocca, veal sautéed with prosciutto crudo

4 servings

Saltimbocca is a classic Italian veal recipe that’s full of layered flavors from the prosciutto crudo ham to the sage and garlic sauté.

Ingredients
250 grams (8.8 oz) of tender thinly sliced veal (scaloppini or rib chops)
5 slices of prosciutto crudo ham
½ cup of dry white wine
fresh sage leaves
1 garlic clove
small cube of butter, 1½ table-spoons
Flour for coating
extra virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper for seasoning

Directions
Start by sautéing the garlic and sage leaves, with a little oil and butter on a low heat in a large frying pan.
This sauté will bring most of the subtle flavors to the recipe later on when the saltimbocca are added in.
There are different ways the sage flavor can be introduced to this recipe which will be covered later on, but for this video the sage in the sauté will be used.

Next prepare the veal by laying slices of prosciutto crudo over the top and then cutting both the veal and prosciutto into medium sized rectangular pieces. If your veal is not thin or tender enough then use a meat tenderizer and pound it a bit until it’s tender before you add the prosciutto over the top.

After that skewer the prosciutto and veal together with a tooth pick, then lightly coat them in the flour. while your doing this keep an eye on your sauté making sure the garlic or sage doesn’t burn.

Sometimes this recipe is prepared with a leaf of sage on each piece of saltimbocca like the one pictured on the left in the video, you may see it like this in a restaurant as well.

Now the saltimbocca are ready i add them to the sauté and let them cook for about 6 minutes on one side and 6 minutes on the other side or until the veal is cooked and the prosciutto is lightly browned.

Next to make the saltimbocca sauce deglaze the frying pan with a dry white wine for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the smell of the alcohol is gone. Speed up the process by raising the flame a little higher.

It’s ready to serve, dribble a little of the sauce from the frying pan over the saltimbocca, and add a touch of ground black pepper.
