Ingredients:

16 oz. Veal Chop
1 oz. olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 tbsp. cracked black pepper

2 oz. olive oil
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 tsp. chopped shallots
7 sage leaves
1 tbsp. butter

Directions

1. Season Veal Chop with salt, coat in olive oil, then sprinkle black peppercorns on both sides of the Veal Chop.

2. Grill Veal Chop to the desired temperature and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. While the Veal Chop is resting heat 2 oz. of olive oil in a small sauté pan.

4. Add garlic and shallots. When the garlic and shallots begin to turn color add butter and sage. Cook until the garlic is golden brown and the sage is crisp.

5. Place Veal Chop on a plate and spoon sauce over the meat garnishing the Veal Chop with the crispy sage leaves.

Roasted Potatoes go very well with this dish.

Renowned Chef Wolfgang Puck was referred to Acqualina’s Il Mulino restaurant. Though he arrived at nearly 11pm and the restaurant was closed, Il Mulino’s Head Maitre D’, Tino Ponticorvo, recognized the Chef and opened the restaurant to personally prepare his meal.

Chef Puck was most impressed with Tino’s pasta with fresh seafood and gracious hospitality and he now refers Acqualina’s Il Mulino to friends and family.

Equally impressed by Il Mulino was former President Bill Clinton, who enjoyed a simple pasta dish followed by cheesecake, while soaking in the beautiful Sunny Isles Beach weather.

This winter season, every guest at Il Mulino can be among those who enjoy Head Maitre D’ Tino Ponticorvo’s hospitality. Each guest will receive complimentary grappa, made by Tino, in many flavors including mango, strawberry and pineapple.
