Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 14 oz can Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup White wine
• 1 cup Chicken or veal stock
• 1 cup Green olives, pitted and halved
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Season the veal chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the veal chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine, and chicken or veal stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the veal chops to the pan, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through cooking.

Step 8

Add the green olives, thyme, and lemon zest to the sauce. Cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
