Good to know

Veal and sage are at the heart of many Italian dishes. Here they're quickly fried together in a simple, low-carb pan dish.

Swaps

Courgette → green asparagus (when it's in season, asparagus fries just as quickly and brings much stronger roasted notes).

Cooking tips

If you fry veal for too long, it turns dry. Be sure to take it out while the veg cooks and only warm it through at the end.

Storage

This is a classic pan dish that tastes best served fresh and doesn't reheat very well.

Allergens

Completely free from gluten, lactose and nuts. In pregnancy, make sure the veal is cooked right through.
