Peppered Veal Chops

Veal is a delicate meat and the French like it quite white, unlike their Italian neighbors. Ideally, veal must be very young and very tender. Its rather insipid taste requires it to be enhanced with subtle sauces, such as the one in this recipe. In the last few years, veal has been somewhat ignored by consumers wary of intensive breeding techniques in which the animals are given hormones. Nowadays, breeders are more conscious of the importance of quality and are breeding veal in the traditional way ("under the mother"), thus producing an incomparably better meat.
