Variations: These chops are also excellent, and in fact more traditional, without the sage.: You can throw tradition to the winds and saut the chops without pounding. They'll need another minute of cooking per side. : Another possibility is to make this with pork chops, either pounded or not.

Pork Chops

Sage

Test-Kitchen Tip: To ensure a crisp coating, keep the heat steady at moderately low. Don't be tempted to turn it down or the crumbs won't brown to a crunchy gold.

Wine Recommendation: Try a Sankt Magdalener riesling, or if you can't find one, a German kabinett halbtrocken riesling. You'll be happily surprised by how good the combination of the wine and the veal chops will taste.
