Veal Chop with Buttered Dill Beans
Ingredients
- 2 veal chops
- 400 g tin butter beans drained
- 2 large knobs of butter
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
- Sea salt flakes and crushed black pepper
Sauce
- 1 shallot onion finely diced
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 tbsp capers chopped
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp cream
- 2 tsp pink peppercorns + a little extra for garnish
Instructions
- Season veal chops generously with sea salt flakes.
- Heat one large knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan and saute chopped shallot and garlic for 1 minute. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and cook over medium heat until thickened.
- Transfer sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Cover with tin foil and set aside until ready to use.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan with a splash of olive oil. Fry veal chop on high heat for 1 – 2 minutes until nice and browned. Flip over and add the last remaining knob of butter to the pan.
- With a spoon, baste veal chop with melted butter continuously for another 1 – 2 minutes or until chop is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook!
- Remove meat from the pan and sit for 5 minutes so juices can reform and meat can tenderize.
- Meanwhile, using a small frying pan, melt the remaining knob of butter, add beans and season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through. Remove from heat and stir through chopped dill.
- To serve: place veal chop on the plate with a sprinkle of salt and crushed pink peppercorns. Add a dollop of sauce and line dill beans alongside.
