Veal piccata is a favourite trattoria dish; we have incorporated its fresh lemon-parsley notes and added pungent capers to give our veal chops a heady flavour. The restaurant-style cooking method (searing the chops, then roasting them in the oven) allows for leisurely preparation of side dishes while the thick chops cook.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp capers, drained
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 6 thick cut 1-1/2 inches/4 cm veal or pork chops, (about 4 lb/2 kg)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, (or 2 tsp/10 mL dried)
- 1 tbsp grated lemon rind
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- Lemon wedges
Preparation
Soak capers in water for 10 minutes. Drain; pat dry. Set aside 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the capers; finely chop remainder. Set aside.
In shallow dish, mix together flour, salt and pepper. Press both sides of chops into flour mixture; shake off excess.
In skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the butter. Brown chops, in 2 batches, about 10 minutes. Place chops, overlapping slightly, in small roasting pan; roast in 400°F (200°C) oven until slightly pink inside, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in same skillet, cook chopped capers, rosemary and lemon rind over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add stock and lemon juice; bring to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup (175 mL), about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over chops; return to oven and roast for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved capers and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
