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.
