Grilled Rosemary Veal Chops [or oven]
Comments: Veal, olive oil and fresh rosemary become alive in this easy dish.
It is suggested to use 'mesquite' charcoals, from a Mexican tree, that seal in the flavors with the intense heat they bring out.
Excellent served along with butter fried sugar peas and sweet red pepper strips.
These can also be browned approximately 3 inches [7.5 cm] under preheated oven broiler.
Serve along with a Nappa or an Alexander Valley 'Cabernet Sauvignon' or a full-bodied 'Chardonnay'.
