Be sure to trim the veal chops of excess fat to prevent flare-ups. Keep a squirt bottle on hand filled with water to spray on flare-ups that may still occur. Veal chops need to be cooked over a two-level fire to ensure a nicely caramelized crust and a center perfectly cooked to medium. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure that the chops don’t get overcooked. If you don’t have all the herbs, feel free to add additional amounts of what you do have to compensate.
Dear Friend,
