vegetable-oil cooking spray
4 plum tomatoes
3/4 pound baby pattypan squash
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound veal scallops (each about 1/8 inch thick)
For the sauce
4 large garlic cloves
1 medium zucchini
3/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Prepare the sauce
Preheat oven to 425F.
Wrap garlic cloves tightly in foil. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices and season with salt and pepper. Put foil-wrapped garlic and zucchini on a baking sheet and roast in middle of oven until garlic is tender and zucchini is pale golden, about 15 minutes. Unwrap garlic and cool.
Have ready a bowl of ice water. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch basil and parsley 10 seconds and drain in a sieve. Refresh herbs in ice water to stop cooking and drain in sieve. Sauce ingredients may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and kept separately, covered and chilled.
In a blender blend garlic, zucchini, herbs, water, and lemon juice until smooth, about 1 minute, and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat broiler and lightly spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
Cut tomatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in one layer on baking sheet. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until edges are browned, about 15 minutes.
While tomatoes are broiling, in a saucepan of boiling salted water cook squash until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain squash in a colander and season with salt and pepper. Keep tomatoes and squash warm.
In a cup stir together lemon juice, mustard, and oil. If veal scallops are too thick, put each veal scallop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and with a rolling pin or smooth side of a meat pounder, gently flatten veal to 1/8 inch thick. Pat veal scallops dry and brush one side of each with lemon mixture. Season veal with salt. In a well-seasoned ridged grill pan cook veal scallops in batches over moderately high heat about 1 minute on each side, or until cooked through.
If scallops are large, cut in half diagonally. Serve veal with tomatoes, squash, and sauce.
