This elegant recipe for veal chops with saffron orzo and tomato sauce offers a sophisticated twist on a high-protein dinner. Combining tender rib or loin chops with a vibrant, punchy sauce made from burst grape tomatoes and fresh rosemary, the dish feels remarkably light yet deeply satisfying. The use of dry white wine adds a subtle acidity that balances the richness of the meat, creating a restaurant-quality main course that can be prepared in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Ideal for those seeking a nutritious, protein-rich meal, the accompaniment of golden saffron orzo provides a delicate floral note and a beautiful colour to the plate. Finished with a touch of butter and salty Parmigiano-Reggiano, the pasta is the perfect bed for the succulent veal. Serve this for a midweek treat or an impressive weekend dinner for guests, perhaps with a side of steamed seasonal greens or a crisp rocket salad.

Ingredients for Veal Chops with Saffron Orzo and Tomato Sauce
4 (1/2-inch-thick) veal chops (rib or loin
200g each)
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
120ml dry white wine
2 (275g) containers grape tomatoes
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
350ml orzo (275g)
Scant 1/4 teaspoons crumbled saffron threads
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
20g finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
How to make Veal Chops with Saffron Orzo and Tomato Sauce
Pat chops dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chops, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Add garlic to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, 30 seconds. Stir in wine, tomatoes, rosemary, and remaining 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper and simmer, gently pressing on tomatoes until they collapse, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook orzo with saffron in a 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well in a sieve and return to saucepan, then stir in butter and cheese.
Reheat chops in sauce and serve with orzo.
