Veal Oscar Recipe

Technically this is not an Italian dish. Yet it is found in many Italian restaurants and many friends expect to see it on the menu. So, here is my recipe for this popular dish.

Tradition has it that this dish was named after King Oscar II of Sweden (he reigned about 100 years ago). This dish was created in his honor and was a particular favorite of the king's.

While it may not be Italian, this is a delicious way to serve veal. You may also substitute chicken breast or turkey breast cutlets for the veal.
