How to Make Veal Pizzaiola

This veal pizzaiola is a much loved Italian winter dish. The rich sauce can be served on top of pasta and roasted vegetables.

Veal Pizzaiola is a meal that I grew eating as a kid. My mum would serve it with mashed potatoes and green vegetables. It was a family favourite then, and it is still a winner for the family today. My version is pretty similar to Mum’s one, though I prefer to serve it without the mashed potato – my favourite sides are sweet potato wedges and broccoli.

For another winter dish and also a family favourite, try a Tomato, Vegetable and Lentil Soup.
