When one writes a blog, it is because that person feels passionate about a subject and enjoys writing. To my readers, please know that I have just finished my newest book: The Language of Good Table Manners. It is a subject that I feel strongly about because it is from our tables that we learn the essence of our life skills. By creating a beautiful meal, celebrate your family and your creativity. Here’s is one of my favorite recipes!
Kelly’s Brandied Veal Chops
Select one veal chop per person and place the veal into a glass or plastic vessel for marinating. Hand beat one whole egg per person and coat each veal chop with the beaten egg. Place a fresh minced garlic clove on top of each chop. Seal, marinate and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. Just before cooking, coat each chop in finely minced bread crumbs and quick sear both sides of each chop in a skillet in butter. Place the seared chops into a baking dish, cover and bake at 400⁰ for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The tender juicy, chops will delight your guests – but there is more – don’t forget to top the chops with some brandied cherries! While the chops are baking, on the stove in a skillet, slowly and at a very low heat simmer one 15 oz. can of cherries in brandy. Cook the pitted cherries until the brandy reduces down. Pour the brandied cherries over the tops of the cooked chops. It’s an exciting entrée to hone in your culinary skills and practice the Language of Good Table Manners! © Kelly McBride Loft
