1. To make the basil butter, cream butter until smooth. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, basil and shallot. Season. Shape into a log and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 1 hour, until firm.
2. Preheat broiler. Season veal chops. Cook for 4 mins per side, until browned but still slightly pink inside.
3. Meanwhile, toss asparagus with olive oil. Cook on a preheated grill pan for 3-5 mins, turning frequently, until well browned. Season and drizzle with the extra olive oil. Arrange on serving plates.
4. Place a veal chop on top of asparagus with a knob of basil butter. Serve with lemon wedges.
