  1. Excellent! Brought back great memories of the early 1960's in Albany, NY. Spaghetti with veal and peppers was the 99 cent Monday night special at a local restaurant. In those days, veal cost less than chicken. The browned veal flavor was beautiful with the wine enhanced tomato sauce. The onions and peppers added layers of flavor. I made the recipe as directed except for subbing sauteed fresh mushrooms. I served the veal over thin spaghetti. Thanks BoxO'Wine for good memories and great food.
     
  2. Since I destroy veal every time I try to cook it, I use thin cut pork loin chops. The texture is similar, and this works well. This is my go-to recipe for this wonderful dish.
     
  3. This recepie was amazing. I tweaked it just a bit for more flavor. I used veal brisket and removed all the fat and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. I seasoned my veal well with Goya adobo and then coated it well with more adobo seasoned flour. Because i used just over 2 pds of veal i really ciated my dutch oven with a goid amount of extra virgin olive oil and the pieces browned nicely along with the garlic. After removing the veal and I added 2 cups of merlot and boiled until reduced in half. I added two cups of chicken stock and the herbed dicef tomatoes and simmered. I cut up in smaller cubes 6 potatoes and added to pot and then added veal back. I added about 6 shakes of hot sauce which just made the sauce outstanding , not spicy. Finally the peopers, onions and last halved baby bella mushrooms. My you daughters just loved it and smached their potaoes into the fragarant sauce. This was enough to feed about 7 people.
     
  4. I really enjoyed this veal and peppers recipe. It was really easy to prep and well worth the wait of the cooking time. The sauce is very flavorful. I easily halved the recipe to accommodate 1 lb of veal. Since I was halving the ingredients, I just used one red bell pepper instead of half a red and half a green. Also, I used 8 oz of fresh baby bella mushrooms which were fantastic in this dish. I used some red pepper flakes as suggested and served over linguine. I'm copying this recipe down. Thanks!
     
  5. i made this for a special dinner for my best friend and my husband who both LOVE veal. (I do not eat it). It made my house smell wonderful and I did taste the sauce which was fantastic. I would love to try it with sweet italian sausage next time. They both LOVE IT and said it was better than any other. Thanks!

Update: My mother, BoxO'Wine passed away on April 23, 2009 after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful cook and is greatly missed. I am the DD that she has mentioned here quite frequently and have decided to continue her account. I also use RecipeZaar quite frequently as I learned about it from her. I strive to make her recipes; however, they will never be the same. I am also leaving all her own biographical information in here that she had. Genuine Jersey Girl here. Lived here all my life with the exception of a short stint in the Bay Area/San Francisco. Married to the same guy for over 40 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My son lives in Georgia (he talks funny) and my two daughters live near me in New Jersey. I am a retired politician, but I still have a real job. Looking forward to full retirement in about 2 yrs or so and if my children don't force me into the "home" I will be spending my social security checks in Atlantic City casinos. I have chemically enhanced blonde hair which is currently spiked to match my weird sense of humor and beverage du jour. Obviously I am a wino. White please, preferably chardonnay.
