My first recipe

As most of my friends know i am italian descent born in canada and very proud !!.
So most of my dishes are italian cuisine , and all the ingredients are fresh, no boxed crap allowed here , only if you knew what was in that crap you would not even feed it to your dog !

Braised veal with white wine and green olives
This portion size feeds 4 people
1and a half pounds lean veal (sirloin tip or loin )
3 ounces or quarter cup small pitted green olives
6 sage leaves
quarter cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons olive oil ( extra virgin )
2 healthy tablespoons of butter , i like to addd more for my taste
1 bay leaf
salt and freshly ground pepper
This all has to be fresh as you can find it mostly in you local stores or markets !
Cube the veal.Heat olive oil in a large frying pan, add butter, allowing it to melt, Add the sage leaves and bay leaves, until it starts smelling real damn good , on a low heat.
raise the heat, gradually add veal, and brown, stirring it constantly
Season with salt and pepper,moisten with white wine, and simmer for 10 minutes .
Add the pitted green olives and heat them, again season with salt and pepper to your taste !

I served this with a side of roasted seasoned potatoes ,i can give the recipe for those also just ask ,there is a trick to them too to get them real tasty ........
Serve this dish with a full bodied white wine ,and enjoy the taste that the wine adds to the dish !

This recipe is for you kirsten :}

Who woulda thought that anyone from Rexdale could have come out with any semblance of culture! rofl. Looking forward to see what you come up with, you domestic goddess.. um GOD you ;)
