Veal Chops

[Ted M (FatEddy)]

Picked up some nice looking veal chops. I don't buy these often, but it was really nice out so I couldn't resist. Sorry some of the pics are little off focus. I've got to start using my good camera, these are all iPhone pics.

Coated in EVOO, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme (both from our garden) and garlic. Sat them like this for an hour.

Cranked up the performer with 3/4 chimney of K-Blue. After the first flip.

Did I mention it was hot out. It was really about 91, but felt like this in the sun.

It's going down to the 40's tonight. Going to have to bring these inside.

Off the grill resting. Drizzled with more EVOO.

Caprese Salad

Plated. Nice inexpensive, but good Montepulciano.

Perfectly done, IMO

This was one the best meals I've had in awhile. Felt like I was back in Italy.

Thanks,
Ted

Absolutely perfect dinner IMO. I'm a big fan of everything on that plate and in that glass!

Where in NNJ? I'm coming over next time! (Dumont here).

I love the way that some fresh herbs mix with veal on the grill. I dig making a little compound butter with them for the finish too.

Rosemary and chives are all I have in my ghetto garden (pots on the stoop) right now.

What's the brand of Montepulciano?

Everything looks absolutely incredible. Joe summed it up perfectly: "Absolutely perfect dinner IMO. I'm a big fan of everything on that plate and in that glass!"

BTW, Thermapen only measure the air temperature

? What was the temperature of this beautiful meat from the grill?

 

[Mike Coffman]

Excellent Meal and photos! Agree with everyone that it is absolutely perfect!

 

[Regina S]

Fantastic meal! Everything there are my favorites, including the wine! Grilled to perfection!

 

[Ted M (FatEddy)]

@Joe InJersey the wine is about 8 bucks... 2010 Natale Verga Montelpuciano d'Abruzzo

@Mildo The Thermapen was left open and got knocked against the grill. It was coming down after I moved it and snapped the pic.

Thanks all

Ted, wonderful looking meal. Wish I could have shared in the festivities! After this I think that I need to go eat.

 

[Jim Lampe]

[Don Cash]

Wow! I'd tear that up!!

Looks fantastic. The veal, the caprese salad and the asparagus. The wine.....ah not a big fan of Montepulciano d'abruzzo wines but I'll drink it just the same.
