This breast of veal recipe is unbeatable. You cannot go wrong with the tender, succulent and super delicious flavor that comes with the fattiness of breast of veal. It's a very easy to prepare meal in one pan. The slow cooking allows the meat to become very tender while soaking up the seasoning flavors. The onions and carrots will get married with the juice drippings from the veal.

Veal breast is a relatively fatty piece of meat from a young calve (young cow) – don't be scared of the fat as it helps with locking in the juices and adds more flavor to the dish. This is a piece of meat that I usually cook infrequently, but whenever I do it's always a big hit. I hope you will enjoy this delicacy as much as we do. Enjoy and Happy Cooking.
