VEAL AT ITS BEST

Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to cook elaborate dinners and this Veal with Tomato, Basil and Onions is perfect for that occasion. It’s a quick and easy recipe that doesn’t take much time to prepare.

The combination of onions, basil and tomatoes are just the best three ingredients in the world and can be used in so many different great dishes. Oh, and let’s not forget the garlic. Where would anything be without garlic.

This simple recipe can just as easily be made with chicken. You can serve it by itself or for a more heartier meal over a bed of spaghetti.
