Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 14 oz can Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup White wine
- 1 cup Chicken or veal stock
- 1 cup Green olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Season the veal chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the veal chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine, and chicken or veal stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the veal chops to the pan, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through cooking.
Add the green olives, thyme, and lemon zest to the sauce. Cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
