Pan Fried Veal
Recipe by Graham
Veal is the meat of young cattle (calves) that are slaughtered between 20 and 26 weeks old. Though veal can be produced from a calf of either sex and any breed, most veal comes from male calves of dairy cattle breeds. Veal has a tender texture that once made it a luxury meat. Nowadays, it is less expensive than it used to be and makes a nice change from time to time.
