Veal Chops topped with Yum!

Submitted by Rita1652

"This is real a show stopper. For that special person in your life. Yes expensive but so good. A hearty meal. A very rich sauce topped with tender veal chops, then piled high with sundried tomatoes, roasted peppers, Portabella mushrooms, then finally topped with melted cheese. Serve as is or with a crisp green salad and a side of mashed potatoes or my favorite angel hair with garlic and olive oil. Isn't your mouth watering?"

This dish is awesome! I made this as is except that I added a boneless, skinless chicken breast, and treated it the same way as the veal, for my daughter, who doesn't like beef. Also, I used my own dried tomatoes in place of the packed in oil kind. The blend of portobellos, sweet red pepper and mozzarella cheese has a wonderful flavor; we really enjoyed our dinner. I served this with gemelli pasta and my daughter and husband have already asked for this again. Thanks Rita, this is a great recipe!

We made these veal chops for dinner last night and doubled the recipe to suit 4 chops. This had a lot of flavor and we really enjoyed the portabella/red pepper/sundried tomatoes/fresh mozarella combo. The port wine and cream also gave it a rich taste, so the dish seemed rich, yet fresh, if that makes sense. I halved the butter because we are trying to watch calories (I used 3 Tb for 4 chops) and didn't seemt to miss it. Thanks, Rita!
