Ingredients

  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 4 veal loin chops, on the bone, pounded
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Olive oil spray
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 shallots, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 5 cups mixed greens, like watercress and Boston lettuce

Method

  • To make the veal, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
  • Dip the veal chops into the buttermilk and then coat on both sides with the crumb mixture.
  • Spray a large cast-iron skillet with the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the veal chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until the crumbs begin to brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Place the chops on a baking sheet, as far apart as possible.
  • Bake until the veal is just cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, to make the salad, whisk together the garlic, shallots, mustard and vinegar.
  • Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the greens in a large bowl.
  • Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
  • Divide the veal chops and salad among 4 plates and serve immediately.
