Veal Grillades & Herb Buttered Egg Noodles

My local grocer had veal this weekend, and unsure of what to do with it, but excited that it was available, I found a recipe and began an adventure.

The good news is that is was great! Thanks to Emeril and this recipe, plus a hearty dose of altering for my ingredients/taste, it was delicious. Instead of grits and the traditional recipe, I served on buttered herbed egg noodles.

Veal Grillades Over Herb Buttered Egg Noodles:

Other Ingredients:
1/4 c olive oil
2 c onion, chopped
1 c green pepper, chopped

Directions:
De-bone and cut veal into large pieces, coat with flour mixed with the seasonings. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large 4-6 qrt stock pot. Brown veal in batches.

Add all veal back in and then add celery, onions and green peppers. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Add tomatoes & garlic, cook for about 5 minutes or until well incorporated and softened.

Add herbs, bay leaves and remaining spices. Add beef broth & wine, bring to a boil, then drop temperature to a low simmer, cover partially and simmer for about 1.5 hours.

Right before serving, add parsley & green onions, and serve over buttered herbed egg noodles (egg noodles, parsley, 2-4 tbs butter), rice, grits or pasta.
