Garlic and Fennel Veal Chops

This lovely tasting veal recipe is one we enjoy on special occasions. We like our veal cooked to a medium doneness which is how these turn out if cooked accordingly.

INGREDIENTS

2 -1 inch thick bone in veal chops (8 ounces each)

2 cloves garlic

1/4 teaspoon fennel seed

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Fresh ground pepper to taste

Vegetable oil, enough to coat bottom of skillet

DIRECTIONS

Crush the fennel with a mortar and pestle to a fine grind then add the garlic and kosher salt and work into a paste.

Rub both sides of the veal chops with this paste and season with pepper; allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Drizzle the oil in a skillet and bring to medium-high heat.

Cook the chops for about 5 minutes per side, until you have a light golden crust on each side.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!
