Grilled Veal Chop with Fingerlings, Mushrooms and Cherry Peppers
- 4 bone-in veal chops, at least 1-inch thick
- Kosher salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/2 pound fingerling potatoes, cut in rounds about 1/2-inch thick
- 1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms (shiitake, chanterelle, oyster, or cremini), sliced
- 5 to 6 hot cherry peppers with their vinegar, stems and seeds removed, quartered
- 1 bunch chives, cut into 1-inch lengths
- Preheat the grill to medium.
- Season the veal chops generously with salt and let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Rub the chops with oil on both sides and arrange on the preheated grill on a very hot spot.
- After about 3 to 4 minutes, when the chops have developed lovely grill marks, rotate the chops 90 degrees to create the cross-hatch pattern.
- Cook the chops for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on that side and then repeat the process on the other side.
- This will cook the chops to about medium-rare.
- Remove the chops to a serving platter and set aside in a warm place to let the juices redistribute.
- While the chops are cooking, coat a large saute pan with extra-virgin olive oil and over medium heat add the garlic cloves.
- When the garlic has become golden brown and is very aromatic, remove and discard the garlic.
- It has fulfilled its garlic destiny.
- Add the potatoes, season with salt and brown the potatoes on each side.
- When the potatoes are brown on each side, add the mushrooms and season with salt.
- Saute the mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes.
- When the mushrooms have become soft and aromatic, add in the cherry peppers and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pepper vinegar (more if you like things REALLY spicy).
- Add the vinegar in baby steps, it can make things VERY spicy and there will not be any recovery.
- Check for seasoning and season with salt if needed (it will).
- Toss in the chives.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately with the veal chops drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Mouthwateringly spicy and delicious!
