Rosh Hashanah Recipe Box:Crusted Veal Chops with Spinach and Corn Succotash
Hey KS Fans,
This is another recipe from my NEW cookbook THE-AT HOME GOURMET (shameless plug I know)!
But it really is a terrific one and they make a terrific YOM TOV meal and are a welcome change to the traditional chicken and beef dishes that usually serve as our main course.
On the other hand, I always serve veal chops for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. It has become my personal celebratory meal; so much so, that whenever Dov sees me making them, he knows good news is to follow. So now I also make them on occasion for dinner, just because. It always brings an instant smile to Dov’s face and makes me less predictable.
I have not made them in a while – It is HIGH time to celebrate, don’t you think? ROSH HASHANAH is the Perfect Time!
YAY!
