Veal Chops With Caramelized Onion And Stilton Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, sugar and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until onions are tender and golden brown, stirring frequently, about 35 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup onions to blender; transfer remaining onions to bowl. Add broth to same skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add broth and 1/2 cup cheese to blender. Puree until smooth.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season veal with salt and pepper. Add veal to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer veal to plates; keep warm.
• Add vinegar to skillet; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add sauce to skillet and cook until heated through. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, combine currants and reserved onions in heavy small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until heated through.
• Spoon sauce over veal. Top with onion-currant mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes so that the salt will leach out the juice of the tomatoes.
• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high-high heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it, on a plate. Place chops on plate and turn in extra-virgin olive oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Once the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around, you want nice grill markings and a good crust on them. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium or move chops a little off to the side on an outdoor grill for more indirect heat. Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, remove the chops and let them rest covered with a tented piece of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
• Once the chops are cooked and rested, add the spinach and olives to the tomatoes and toss to coat. Serve the salad on or alongside the chops and spoon out some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

Steps:

• Heat a grill until it is very hot. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
• Rub the chops with the oil and sprinkle them with the salt and pepper. Put the chops on the clean grill rack and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer them to the oven and let them rest and finish cooking for at least 10 minutes (the chops can be kept in the oven for up to 30 minutes).
• MEANWHILE FOR THE SAUCE:
• Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
• At serving time, place a chop on each of four plates and coat with the sauce.
