Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash the veal and place it in a roasting pan.
- Add chopped green pepper, cubed carrot, chopped onion, chopped mushrooms, tomato soup, water, salt, and pepper to the pan.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Roast at 350°F (175°C) for 2 to 3 hours, checking and stirring periodically.
- Add water if the mixture becomes too thick during cooking.
- Serve with cooked wide egg noodles, peas, and a tossed salad.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the veal overnight with herbs like rosemary and thyme. You can substitute the canned mushrooms with fresh mushrooms for a more robust taste. If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of water or add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water towards the end of cooking. Remember, the key to tender veal is not to overcook it.
Serving Suggestions
This roast veal pairs beautifully with cooked wide egg noodles and fresh peas for a comforting meal. A simple tossed salad with a vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast. You might also consider serving it alongside Garlic Bread or even a side of roasted vegetables to enhance the meal. For a heartier option, serve with a side of Turkey Chili With Rice.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the veal and sauce in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, covered, for about 2-3 minutes or until warm. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat instead of veal?
Yes, you can substitute veal with pork or beef roast. Adjust the cooking time based on the size and type of meat used; pork may cook faster, while beef might require additional time.
What can I serve with roast veal?
Roast veal is versatile and can be paired with various sides. Consider serving it with mashed potatoes, a light salad, or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For a unique twist, try pairing it with Sausage Cabbage Bake.
How do I know when the veal is done cooking?
The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Veal should reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare. If you prefer it well-done, aim for 160°F. Always let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
