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 is an essential ingredient in many traditional dishes, such as blanquette de veau in France and osso buco in Italy. Choose farm-raised meat with a red label or a farm product.

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