Wrap each tail flush against the loin portion of each veal chop and with a metal skewer pierce a hole through the tail and the loin portion.
Sprinkle the tail of each veal chop with ¼ teaspoon of the remaining zest, 1/8 teaspoon of the remaining minced rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste, wrap each tail flush against the loin portion, and skewer each veal chop through the pierced holes with a rosemary branch.
Add the veal chops to the marinade and let them marinate, covered and chilled, turning them once and adding the zucchini to the marinade for the last hour, for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Grill the veal chops on a rack set about 6 inches (15cm) – over glowing coals for 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.
Grill the zucchini for 3 minutes on each side, or until it is just tender.
