Cooking veal

[Cycling Naturalist]

Having been assured by the RSPCA that British veal is ok to eat - no crates in darkened warehouses, just the slaughter of bull calves of milk breeds before they get too big and tough, I have bought a couple of veal steaks for supper tonight.

I'm about to cycle home and would welcome suggestions on how best to cook them when I get back.

Cook them?

Yes, British veal is one of the more sustainable meats you can eat. I like it breadcrumbed and fried myself - how about this? http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/589213

I would grate some parmesan and parsley into the breadcrumb mixture...

One for me and one for Mrs. S. As she's standing around looking hungry, I'm just going to grill them and serve them with green beans and garlic potatoes.

Sounds very tasty! And a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, perhaps?

Olive oil in a trangia fry pan, garlic, herbs then make sure it's cooked through and serve with some lemon juice...and a bag of chips from Mc donalds 'cos you can tcook chips on a trangia!

BTFG.....I'm shocked and ashamed. Chips from *splutters to get it out* McD$(&&^£"s. There should be a separate area in this forum for those who patronise such places

Fried then finished with cream and a little grain mustard.

Have you never had a 'Fixed veal' experience before then Patrick? It hurts your calves for a while...

Ahem, Mataro-Cabernet out of a wine box on special offer at Somerfield.

can't remember when I last had veal but used to love it! IMHO white meat is always best with rice. Grill the meat and do the rice in the oven along with herbs, onions and beans ( ie black-eye beans, kidney beans and chick-peas) then use a tin of condensed mushroom soup over it as the sauce.

What news on your veal dinner, then, Patrick? I came to this thread too late to promote the joys of Saltimbocca alla Romana...
