1. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan (skillet). Add the potato cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown.

3. Place the veal in the frying pan (skillet) and cook for 2 - 3 minutes on each side until sealed. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Stir the onion and garlic into the pan (skillet) and cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
5. Add the flour and tomato puree (paste) and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Gradually blend in the red wine and chicken stock, stirring to make a smooth sauce.
6. Return the potatoes and veal to the pan (skillet). Stir in the tomatoes, olives and chopped basil and season with salt and pepper.
7. Transfer to a casserole dish and cook in a preheated oven, 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4, for 1 hour or until the potatoes and veal are cooked through. Garnish with basil leaves and serve.
