Veal chops come in two basic varieties: rib chops or loin chops. Rib chops contain meat from the loin, whereas loin chops contain meat from the loin and the tenderloin, which is a little more tender and juicy. Both types provide high-quality meat and can be prepared in similar ways, so buy whichever you prefer.

Prepare veal chops in any way that you might prepare a pork chop, with a few adjustments for cooking time. Veal chops can be cooked with any of the seasonings that you would use on a pork chop, such as a garlic seasoning, salad dressing mix or mild barbecue rub. Similar to pork chops, veal chops are juicy and tender with a savory edge of fat on the edge of each chop.

Veal chops tend to be much thicker than pork chops. The typical veal chop is 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick, whereas pork chips are generally 1/2 inch to 3/4-inch thick. As a result, the cooking time tends to be longer. However, you do not have to cook veal chops until they are well-done, as you would a pork chop. Instead, think of the cooking temperature as you would a steak. You can cook a veal chop anywhere from rare to well-done.

The flavor of a veal chop is more subtle than pork chops, so you may wish to choose seasonings that are flavorful but that enhance rather than overpower the taste of the veal. Examples of flavors that go well with veal are a garlic rub or red wine marinade. Serve the veal chops with any side that you might serve with steak or a beef roast, such as roasted vegetables, a baked potato or a crisp salad with a light ranch dressing.
