Ingredients

  • 4 loin or rib veal chops (each about 1/3 pound; each about 3/4-inch thick)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons minced shallots
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Water
  • 1 cup loosely packed chopped fresh herbs such as tarragon, mint, basil and parsley or a combination of your choice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Trim excess fat from the chops and season them lightly with pepper.
  • Melt the 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12 inch skillet.
  • When melted add the bacon and saute for a few minutes or until somewhat crisp.
  • If there is not enough fat in the skillet, then add more butter and heat up.
  • Add the veal chops and saute them over high heat for 2 minutes a side, or just until browned.
  • Lower the heat and continue to cook them uncovered and without liquid for another 5 to 7 minutes a side or until just cooked through.
  • Remove the chops to a plate.
  • Add the shallots to the skillet and saute until cooked through about 2 minutes.
  • Add the lime juice, water and deglaze the pan.
  • Add the herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chops.
