Grilled Veal Chops and Radicchio with Lemon-Caper Sauce

This elegant recipe for grilled veal chops with radicchio and lemon-caper sauce offers a sophisticated balance of flavours and textures. The succulent veal is perfectly complemented by the slightly bitter, charred radicchio leaves, while the piquant dressing of capers and lemon zest provides a bright, citrusy finish. It is a wonderful choice for a light yet satisfying dinner that feels truly indulgent without being heavy.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in lean protein and healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil. The white balsamic vinegar adds a gentle sweetness that cuts through the savoury notes of the meat beautifully. Serve it on its own for a Mediterranean-style lunch or pair it with steamed green beans for a wholesome evening meal.
