Ingredients
confit
1/4 cup vegetable oil (60 ml)
8 large onions, thinly sliced
8 shallots, thinly sliced
2 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped
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.
