Widely consumed in France and Italy, veal is tender and has a delicate flavour. Veal can be prepared as a roast, blanquette, stir-fry, sauce or cutlet depending on the cut.

Veal can be cooked quickly or slowly. Cutlets, tenderloin, prime rib and grenadine are the best choices for grilling or pan-frying.
