Veal with Balsamic Vinegar and Sultanas

No ratings yet
Balsamic vinegar is a red wine vinegar from Modena in northern Italy. Its distinctive sweet and sour taste is achieved after it has been left to mature in wooden cases for between 3 and 12 years, or preferably even longer for a richer taste. If it is unavailable, sherry vinegar makes a perfectly good substitute. This dish should be served with a colourful selection of fresh vegetables, such as carrots and mangetout.
