Grilling Veal
Cutlets, loin and chump chops are suitable. Prepare and grill as for Lamb, basting frequently during cooking time as veal is a lean and therefore dry meat.
Frying Veal
Fry cutlets, loin and chump chops as for Lamb in hot oil or equal quantities of hot oil and butter, also in egg and breadcrumbs. Veal escalopes (fillet of veal) are beaten thin, then coated in egg and breadcrumbs and shallow-fried for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. See Wiener Schnitzel.
Roasting Veal
Suitable roasting cuts are shoulder, leg, loin, fillet, best end of neck, breast. All these joints are sold either on the bone or boned and rolled. The latter may be stuffed according to taste. See also Veal Orloff. Season the joint, put in roasting tin and cover with rashers of streaky bacon.
