Ingredients:





     2    Shallots


     2    Garlic cloves


     2    Sprigs fresh rosemary


     3 c  Balsamic vinegar; divided


   1/2 c  Olive oil


   1/2 ts Kosher salt


   1/2 ts Black pepper


     4    Veal chops; 10 oz each


     1 c  Balsamic vinegar


     4 ts Basil-infused oil


     4    Sprigs fresh thyme (garnish)






 To be served with Balsamic Ratatouille and Mashed Potatoes


 w/Mascarpone Cheese & Roasted Garlic


 


 1. Roughly chop shallots, garlic and rosemary. Place in a casserole


 dish large enough to hold the veal chops, along with 2 cups balsamic


 vinegar and the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chops, cover, and


 marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.


 


 2. Remove veal chops from marinade. Place on a hot grill. Cook at


 medium temperature, turning once, for 9 to 13 minutes, until done to


 your liking. If using a gas grill, the barbecue experts who staff the


 Weber Grill Line (1-800-474-5568) recommend grilling the chops over


 medium heat using the indirect method until chops reach 160 degrees


 for medium and 170 degrees for well-done.


 


 3. Meanwhile, reduce remaining 1 cup balsamic vinegar by placing it


 in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until


 thick and syrupy, about 8 to 10 minutes. (Do not let vinegar boil


 rapidly or it will burn.) You will get about 4 teaspoons.


 


 4. To assemble: On a warm plate, place 1/4 of the ratatouille in the


 center of each plate. Place 1/4 of the mashed potatoes on top of each


 serving of ratatouille. Drizzle 1 teaspoon basil oil over each


 serving of potatoes. Lay grilled chops over potatoes and drizzle 1


 teaspoon reduced balsamic vinegar over each. Garnish with thyme


 sprigs.
