Introduction

Veal chops with capers and cornichons. One more week and school start. And with that comes homework, after school activities and running around in a million of directions. As time is the essence, I will have to retrain myself to make dinner earlier, less elaborate and, needless to say: return to a routine.

I really enjoyed our summer, but I am ready to a more scheduled life.

Dinner tonight is exactly that: an easy and simple way to have a great meal in less than 40 minutes. Love it, I have to say… and I am sure you will love it too.

Use French cornichons as they are crispier and more vinegary opposite of the American counterpart, that are sweet and soggy soft.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces veal chopss 2 thick, bone in 6 ounces veal chops(s)
  • 1 tsp Herbes de Province 1 teaspoon Herbes de Province
  • 2 tbsps vegetable oil 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp capers 1 tablespoon drained and chopped capers
  • 1 tbsp French cornichons 1 tablespoon drained and chopped French cornichons
  • 0.5 cup sherry 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 0.5 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup chicken stock - low sodium
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Heat the oven at 400ᵒ. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over high heat until very hot. Add the chops to the pan and cook them without moving them until nicely browned on one side, 2 minutes. Turn the chops over and put the pan into the oven. Cook the chops to medium rare, 8 to 11 minutes, (depends on oven). The chops should feel almost firm when pressed with fingers.
  • Take the meat out of the oven and out of the pan. Let the meat rest covered loosely with aluminum foil, in a warm place while the sauce is been prepared. Add the capers and cornichons to the pan and cook for a minute.
  • Add the sherry, bring to a boil and let it boil for a minute or two, to burn off the alcohol.
  • Add the chicken stock and bring it to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Cook over medium heat until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Whisk in the butter and incorporate well.
  • Add the parsley and cream. Salt and pepper if needed. Put the chops and any accumulated juices to the pan briefly to warm up the meat.
  • Put the chops on a plate, pour the sauce over it and make sure that the capers and cornichons are divided amongst the two plates.
