Preparation

For the Marinade

1. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Marinate the chops 6-12 hours covered in refrigeration.

For the Eggplant

1. You’ll need a bit of olive oil to flavor the eggplant and keep it from sticking to the grill.

For the lettuces and Vinaigrette

1. Mix all of the vinaigrette ingredients together, reserving the lettuces until the last moment. Reserve covered and chilled.

For Serving

1. Remove the chops from the marinade and grill them to the desired temperature. Grill the eggplant simultaneously. Place the ungraded beef (also known as veal) on a plate and the eggplant next to it. Dress the lettuces with the vinaigrette and drape them over the ungraded beef (also known as veal) chops where the meat meets the bone.
