Hazelnut and Honey Crusted Veal Chop
Meat

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups shelled hazelnuts
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 shallot, sliced
4 tablespoons buckwheat honey or other dark honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish
6 (1 1/2 inch thick) veal chops
salt
ground white pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to broil.

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the
nuts, garlic and shallot until finely minced. Add in the honey and
pulse to make a paste. Stir in the chopped chives. Set aside.

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

Place the veal chops on a baking tray 6 inches from the heat and broil
5 minutes per side.

Spread a layer of the honey paste over the top side of each veal chop.
Place crust side up on the baking tray.

Return the tray, uncovered, to the oven on the rack furthest from the
heat. Broil for 10 minutes longer, checking to make sure the honey
crust is not burning.

Garnish with chopped chives.
