4
ingredients
- 4 tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges and each wedge cut in 1/2
- 1⁄2 cup fresh basil leaf, torn
- 1 cup flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 rib veal chops, about 1 to 1-1/2-inch thick with the bone in
- 1 lb fresh spinach, trimmed of thick stems and washed
- 1⁄2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and roughly chopped
directions
- In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar and about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
- Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes so that the salt will leach out the juice of the tomatoes.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil on a plate.
- Place the chops on the plate and turn in the oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill is ready, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes.
- Before flipping, turn the heat down to medium or move to a little off the side of the grill for more indirect heat.
- Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, then remove the chops and let them rest covered with a tented piece of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
- Once the chops are cooked and rested, add the spinach and olives to the tomatoes and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad on or alongside the chops and spoon some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
