Veal Chops with Smashed Potatoes

 I looked for recipes for veal chops for the instant pot or crock pot - because I was feeling lazy. After reading a ton of recipes, I decided to just do what they suggested and cook them on the stove.

This recipe is adapted from Yummly's Delmonico's Chef's Veal Chops Hongroise.

4 veal chops - I used two very large, thick (1 inch) chops I bought on a whim at Fresh Market

Fry the veal chops after seasoning with some salt, pepper and about 1 tsp. paprika on both sides. Add one chopped onion to the pan. Cook them to your desired color. Remove from the pan and place on plates with smashed small Yukon Gold potatoes. Or mashed potatoes. Or orzo. Whatever.

To the pan with onions and butter, add 1 cup of cream, 2 chopped tomatoes, thin slices of red/orange/yellow peppers and some fresh thyme leaves and heat. 

Cover the potatoes and veal chops with this creamy mixture and sprinkle some fresh lemon juice on top! Garnish with fresh sprigs of thyme. 

Delicious.
