The recipe was good, but it lacked some extra things... first I would recommend seasoning the veal . Some added kosher salt would also be a bonus. And more seasonings to kick it up a notch maybe some oregano and fresh ground pepper. I will try it making this changes next time. Other than the details good and heart healthy meal.
