INSTRUCTIONS
One of the classic (and most delicious) New Orleans breakfasts. Season veal escallopes on each side with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a large skillet and saut the veal until it is lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cooked meat to a platter and hold in a warm oven whilie prepping the sauce. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Saut the onion, green onion, bell pepper, garlic and celery until tender. Stir in bayleaf and Italian seasoning, and add the tomatoes, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. When the mixture is well-blended, stir in the stock and cook for 5 minutes, stirring freqently. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and water, and stir it into the sauce to thicken it. Add the parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook over medium heat until reduced by 1/4. Remove the bay leaf. Spoon the sauce onto warm plates, and center a veal escallop on each. Place grits on the side of the meat, ladle additional sauce over the grits and meat. Garnish with parsley and a few capers. Serves 8. Posted to recipelu-digest Volume 01 Number 407 by molony <[email protected]> on Dec 27, 1997
