Ingredients

Roasted Cauliflower:

Cheddar Grits:

Veal Chop:

Veal Jus:

Directions

  1. For the roasted cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Break up the head of cauliflower into small pieces. Toss with the olive oil, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Spread out in a roasting pan and roast until tender, about 12 minutes.
  2. For the cheddar grits: Melt the butter in a medium size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, cream and stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the grits and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until thickened, whisking constantly, 25 minutes. Stir in the cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. For the veal chop: Heat the oil in a saute pan. Sprinkle both side of the veal chop with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, place the veal chop into the pan and cook, undisturbed, until it has a golden caramelized crust, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side, undisturbed, 4 more minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, thyme and butter and cook, basting the chop by spooning the butter over the top, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Allow to rest 15 minutes before serving.
  4. For the veal jus: In a large pot, heat the oil over high heat until smoking hot. Sear the veal trimmings in the oil until well-caramelized, turning occasionally.
  5. Spoon off about 3/4 of the fat and add the mushrooms, garlic, shallots, peppercorns, thyme and parsley and cook, covered, over medium-low heat, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the red wine and reduce almost completely over high heat. Add the Madeira and reduce almost completely. Add a third of the veal stock and reduce almost completely. Add another third of veal stock and reduce by half. Add the remaining veal stock and simmer, 10 minutes more.
  6. Strain the jus into a clean pot and return to high heat; reduce until tasty. Add the butter, whisking, then the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then strain. Add the thyme to steep until ready to serve.
  7. For plating: Spoon the grits onto a plate and place the veal chop on top. Add the cauliflower around the side of the dish and ladle the jus around its perimeter. Serve immediately.
