Veal With Tomatoes, Olives and Lemon image

This Roman dish is simple to prepare and takes little time, perfect for a spring dinner party or a weeknight dinner for a family. Make sure the veal is pounded thin, and cook each side until just brown. Serve it warm, with a salad and a good crusty baguette. (The New York Times)

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Extra virgin olive oil as needed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups chopped tomatoes (canned are fine; drain them first)
Salt and pepper
1 cup mixed good olives
8 to 12 thin slices veal, preferably from the leg, pounded slightly until less than 1/4-inch thick
Flour for dredging
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
  • Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
  • Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I thought I would try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The olives added a nice salty flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too many tomatoes. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my veal turned out tough. The sauce was good, though.
