Ingredients

  • 1 large veal cutlet
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 (No. 2 1/2) can spaghetti sauce
  • 1 c. bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Dip the veal cutlet in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs.
  2. Brown the breaded veal in oil in a skillet.
  3. Add the chopped onion, green pepper, spaghetti sauce, and cover.
  4. Cook on low heat until the veal is tender.

Tips & Substitutions

For a quicker prep, you can use pre-breaded veal cutlets if available. If you want to add a bit more flavor, consider seasoning the bread crumbs with Italian herbs or garlic powder. You can also substitute the veal with chicken or turkey cutlets for a lighter option. Using homemade spaghetti sauce can elevate the dish, but store-bought works well in a pinch. This dish pairs beautifully with Sausage En Croute.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Hurry Up Veal over a bed of pasta or alongside garlic bread for a hearty meal. A simple green salad with vinaigrette makes a refreshing side. You might also consider pairing it with Lima Beans And Sausage for a comforting combination. Garnish the dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Allow leftovers to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the veal in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out, covering it to maintain moisture. You can also microwave it on a low setting, but be careful not to overcook.
