Vitello Spezzatino--Veal Stew

One of my favorite dishes!

You can use either Veal Cutlets, or Veal Stew meat. If you use the veal stew meat, you'll need to boil the stew meat in a pot of water for about an hour, and set it aside until you need to add it later. I am using veal cutlets in this recipe........

1 medium onion chopped
2 celery sticks chopped
2 carrots chopped
4 Veal Cutlets cut lengthwise, and then cut again width wise--You should end up with 1/4 inch thick pieces
4 Potatoes peeled and cubed
1 1/2-2 cups of plain tomato sauce--Chunky Style of Kitchen Ready
4 cups of water
Salt and pepper to taste
5 table spoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Saute` for about 3-5 minutes;
1. Oil
2. Onion
3. Celery
4. Carrots

Season with Salt and Pepper and keep stirring with a wooden spoon.

Add your sauce, and mix well.

Add the water, stir and bring to a boil.

Add the potatoes, Veal (either the cutlets or the boiled stew meat) and season with Salt and Pepper.

Let cook, stirring often, until potatoes are done.
