VEAL SCALOPPINE IN MARINARA SAUCE
This is from an old cookbook entitled "Pineapple Gold", written by Joann Hulett Dobbins. I've used it so often over the last 20-plus years that it's falling apart and now has to be kept in a big ziplock bag instead of on the shelf. :) The recipe is very adaptable to personal tastes. Add mushrooms to the sauce, increase the garlic, replace some of the water with wine, throw in some red pepper flakes if you like highly-seasoned foods, etc., etc. The sauce ingredients have been doubled because we like a lot and also enjoy the leftovers on other things. You can cut it in half if you prefer. I serve it with fettucini, a Caesar salad and hot French bread. This takes a little time, but it's easy and real good.

Steps:
- To prepare sauce, heat 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in large skillet on 'medium' setting.
- Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; sweat until vegetables are tender.
- Add tomato paste, water, thyme, basil, sugar and crushed bay leaves; stir until tomato paste is incorporated and mixture is smooth.
- (Note: When using fresh herbs instead of dried, I approximately triple the amount of basil and double the thyme -- but you can tell better by taste than exact measurements. Replacing 1/2 cup of the water with wine is also an excellent option. And I *always* throw in the hot pepper flakes!).
- Taste mixture, adding salt and pepper as needed. (For inexperienced cooks, I would suggest starting with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and going -- slowly -- from there until it tastes just right.).
- Continue cooking over medium heat, allowing mixture to slowly reach a boil; at that point, reduce heat several notches and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, season veal scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Measure flour and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
- (Note: A scant measure of flour will be enough. Breadcrumbs can be fresh or commercial. Recipe calls for 'plain', but the Italian-seasoned kind work fine also.).
- Break egg into third bowl, beating well with a whisk.
- In a second skillet or large pot, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter on 'medium' setting.
- Dredge scallopini in flour, coating lightly but thoroughly on both sides; dip in beaten egg to coat; cover all over with breadcrumbs.
- Brown thoroughly in hot oil (depending on how brown you want them, it will take about 2-4 minutes per side); drain on paper towels.
- Add browned scallopini to marinara sauce, turning to coat if necessary; continue simmering slowly until meat is thoroughly done and very tender (10-15 minutes).

VEAL CUTLETS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE
Steps:
- Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper; dust with flour to coat lightly. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juices, basil, parsley, oregano and dried red pepper. Bring sauce to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until flavors blend and sauce thickens slightly, scraping up browned bits, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange cutlets atop sauce. Top each with cheese. Cover; simmer until veal is tender and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- To ensure the tenderness of the veal, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound it thin before cooking.
- Dredge the veal scallops in flour before searing to create a crispy crust that helps lock in the juices.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan to sear the veal scallops. This will help prevent the meat from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Sear the veal scallops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the meat from searing properly.
- While the veal scallops are searing, prepare the olive and sun-dried tomato sauce. This can be done in advance and reheated before serving.
- Once the veal scallops are seared, add them to the sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve the veal scallopini with the olive and sun-dried tomato sauce over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
