Fabulous!!! This will become one of my staples. The sauce is a perfect balance of flavors. I added some grated parmesan to the breadcrumbs and they were perfect!

Very nice, quick dish. The crumbing method was easy, and the sauce was good. Thanks.

This is so quick to make that I could make it after work! The sauce is very unique and flavorful. Great to have something that you haven't tasted before. Mine wasn't quite as tender as I'd like, but I probably didn't get the highest quality meat and that was to blame. Thanks for sharing! Made for Susie's World Tour 2018.

LOVED IT!!! (Including my 10 year old) I used 2 packages of veal cutlets (about 2 pounds) and modified ingredients slightly to taste..... seasoned cutlets with seasoning salt, then dredge in flour, egg wash and breadcrumbs, then cook in oil (small amount). After veal is cooked, scrape bottom of pan with 6 tblspns of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic, 10 sage leaves (chopped). I used 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium), 3 teaspoons brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of vinegar. Will definitely make again!!! Thank you!

Results: I loved it, the hubby thought it was okay (he's not a big fan of veal), big thumbs down from the kids (6 and 2). Substitutions: Marg for Butter Dried Italian seasoning instead of sage Served with" Thin rice noodles - boiled then tossed in the pan with a bit of sauce. For next time: I would double the sauce to have more for the noodles.
