Veal Ala Deborah...

Can I just say, veal is so hard to find these days, and I was thrilled when we saw it at Costco!  I just had to get it!  Already pounded out to the most beautiful scallops, I made my version of a healthy veal dish!

Recipe

I quickly seared the my seasoned veal scallops in a skillet over very high heat, with my olive oil spray.  I used one of my favorite spice blends from The Spice House - California Seasoned Pepper.  I put the veal aside, lowered the heat and then sauteed onions, mushrooms, leaks and garlic.  Let it all simmer and added some lemon juice and a 1/3 of a cup of some duck reduction we just so happened to have on hand, if I didn’t see that in the freezer, I would have used chicken stock instead!  Before serving, I added the veal back to my simmering vegetables to finish cooking it.  Voila!  A yummy, healthy dinner served with some roasted brussels sprouts on the side.
