Veal

Broiled Veal Chops with Mixed Peppercorns

Jars of mixed peppercorns—red, green, white and black—can be found in supermarket spice racks. Uncork a bottle of Zinfandel to go with this simple, great-tasting main course.

Brown Veal Stock

We like the flavor that 6 pounds of breast bones and 4 pounds of knuckles bring to this stock.

Veal Bocconcini with Porcini and Rosemary

Though you may associate bocconcini with the tiny mozzarella balls sold at Italian markets and cheese shops, the word simply means "little bites" (the veal in this stew is cut into bite-size pieces). When purchasing dried porcini, look for packages containing large, flat, recognizable slices of the mushroom. Active time: 35 min Start to finish: 1 3/4 hr

Veal Cutlets with Sauteed Baby Artichokes

Noël McAlpine of Dallas, Texas, writes: "When I was in Florence for a business conference, I had the pleasure of dining at Trattoria Garga. I really enjoyed the scaloppine al carciofi (veal cutlets with artichokes) and would like to add the recipe to my collection."

Veal Burger Pita Sandwich

For a heartier sandwich, coarsely chopped avocado can be stirred into the yogurt.

Braised Chicken in Aromatic Tomato Sauce

This dish known, as pastitsatha, is one that evolved from Corfu to stretch scant supplies of meat. Consisting of chicken, turkey, beef or veal braised in tomato sauce fragrant with spices, it is served over thick tubular pasta from Corfu called "perciatellli" (if you can't find it, use spaghetti). Kefalotyri is a nutty tasting hard cheese similar to Parmesan. It is available at Greek markets.

Veal Chops with Tomato-Orange-Basil Sauce

The delicious sauce is also very nice with chicken and shellfish.

Veal Stew with Potatoes, Tomatoes and Oregano

The stew does need to bake for a couple of hours, but it's very easy to put together.

Veal with Leek and Roquefort Sauce

In this elegant entrée, the leeks mellow to lend a bit of sweetness to the sauce.

Grilled Veal Chops with Rosemary

(BRACIOLE DI VITELLO AL ROSMARINO) Romagna is famous for its grilled foods, and the aroma of meats sizzling over a wood fire is common in the countryside. Try this with a local dry red wine such as Sangiovese di Romagna or Gutturnio.
