Preparation
1 Veal - Combine chops and marinade in shallow pan; let stand for 1 to 2 hours in refrigerator, turning occasionally.
2 Golden Raisin Asparagus Salad - Remove about 1/2-inch from bottom of asparagus spears. Blanch in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes; cool in ice water. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place in mixing bowl. Remove tops and very bottom of leek; cut in half lengthwise.
3 Remove yellow center and rinse thoroughly with water. Grill over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, being careful to avoid burning. Cut into matchstick-size pieces (julienne) and add to bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well. Set aside to chill.
4 California Raisin-Rice Pilaf - Cook pilaf according to package directions. Add remaining ingredients to hot pilaf and mix together. Keep hot.
5 Remove chops from marinade. Discard used marinade and grill chops over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, turning a quarter turn halfway through each side, until done (145°F for medium rare).
6 Spoon 1/4 cup pilaf onto each serving plate. Arrange grilled veal chop on top and add 1/4 cup salad on top of that. Serve immediately.
