225 g fresh spinach
50 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano

60 ml cream

Method
Blend the spinach until smooth, then combine with cream, egg, Parmigiano Reggiano, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Pour into molds and bake at 325°F / 160°C for about 15 minutes until set as a spinach parfait.
Season the veal chop and sear until well colored.
Roast at 375°F / 190°C, basting with rosemary oil as it cooks.
Rest the veal chop before slicing or serving whole.
Finish the sauce with veal demi-glace and pan juices, then plate with the spinach parfait.
Chef’s Note: Veal benefits from careful roasting and resting. The rosemary should remain aromatic and elegant, while the spinach parfait adds softness and balance against the rich demi-glace.
