Pan Fried Veal

Ready in 10 mins

Recipe by Graham 

Veal is the meat of young cattle (calves) that are slaughtered between 20 and 26 weeks old. Though veal can be produced from a calf of either sex and any breed, most veal comes from male calves of dairy cattle breeds. Veal has a tender texture that once made it a luxury meat. Nowadays, it is less expensive than it used to be and makes a nice change from time to time.

Even visitors who have some basic culinary skills will find that this site contains plenty of useful ideas and short cuts that they have not come across before.
