Easy Veal Chops Ladiva

"Meat, potatoes and vegetables all in one pan! I had a large veal shoulderblade chop which looked more like a steak than a chop, and I decided to braise it in the oven. The ingredients went together very quickly and this came out tender and moist. There was more than enough potatoes and zucchini for two, but we did finish the veal. Yum!"

  1. I made this recipe despite the two critical reviews regarding the vegetables staying hard, and I had no problem with the vegetables. This year we are experiencing drought and the squash and potatoes in my garden are tougher than usual — I suspect that a lot of store-bought vegetables are also tougher this summer. Also, some varieties of potato are drier or waxier than others, and will not soften. I used a homegrown Adirondack blue potato, which is a waxier, denser type. I cut the pieces smaller for that reason, as I did not have any baby potatoes. The recipe states baby-sized or early sized potatoes, Which are more likely to be creamy or melt in your mouth. The recipe states using smaller potatoes, sealing the dish with foil, and cooking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I used a stick-free metal pan instead of a glass pan, because that’s what I had available . I was in a hurry and actually ate some of this recipe after only 45 minutes, and it was tasty! I’m eating leftovers today as I write and it is even better! I only give five stars for exceptionally good recipes. This is a good solid recipe for turning ordinary food into a satisfying meal.
     
  2. I think the potatoes need to be pre-cooked for this recipe. After cooking 2 hours, they were cooked through, but not nice and soft, they were still kind of hard, like for potato salad (and they were peeled and cut in half). I also seasoned each layer and ingredient - not just the meat.
     
  3. After 2 hours in the oven the ingredients were still uncooked! A very poor recipe and one to avoid.The five star review is unbelieveable.
     
  4. Okay - this is definitely 5 stars!! Made this for dinner tonight and it was wonderful. The veal was tender, the vegetables were tender but not mushy ( I was worried about the zucchini baking for 1 hour) and the flavors were excellent. Even DD said it was very good, which is rare for her! Preparation was quick and I loved the one-dish cooking. I will add this to the Keeper cookbook! Thanks Diva. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.

Hi, everyone! My name is Ellen. I was born in the town so nice, they named it twice - New York, New York! I grew up in Ossining, NY, just minutes outside of Manhattan. My grandma immigrated to New York from Austria, and owned a delicatessen for years right near the original Yankee Stadium. She was a fabulous cook and baker, as was my mother, and I learned a lot about food preparation from both of them. I could cook a complete meal for eight people by the time I was in the third grade. I always loved to cook, and with two such great teachers, how could I not?! I am a born-again Christian, and I have enjoyed serving on different ministries at my church, the most recent one being data-entering the info and prayer requests handed in every week on the Care & Communication Cards, and then I follow up with phone calls & emails to welcome, answer any questions, and assist, if needed. I also work with Community Caregivers, an organization providing all kinds of assitance to people who have need, including delivering prescriptions, providing transportation to doctor appointments, helping the visually disabled with paperwork, etc. It has been a great growing experience for me. This is Jeff, my husband and most appreciative gourmand. This is Cricket, our American Eskimo. He is pure energy! This is Daphne, our Bluetick Hound. She is a sweetheart! Here's a video of a youth drama/dance from GodTube that is absolutely one of my favorites! http://youtu.be/cyheJ480LYA Thank you, SusieQusie! Thank you, Susie D! Thank you, FloridaNative! This four-pound lobstah is our idea of a perfect picnic supper! Here are several photos I've taken of our yard from mid-Spring to late-Summer
