Description
Every once in a while I’ll like to make veal for my family. The taste of veal is very unique and everyone seems to really like it. It’s not every day that I will break out the veal so when I do everyone makes comments on it being “veal time” again. I’ll usually source the veal from my local butcher to ensure that it’s top quality as I can’t find it in every store. This meal will feed a family of 6-8 people.
