Ingredients

Serves 6 

  • 6 loin veal chops (about 1 inch thick), trimmed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons safflower oil

Grandma's Secret Tips!

When Grandma was having to be budget conscious, she would save money on shallots, which were expensive in her local supermarket, by using substitute ingredients. She substituted a large chopped yellow onion, or a leek plus a minced clove of garlic, for the 5 shallots.
