Veal Breast Recipes

Veal breast is a cut of meat that is notably inexpensive , but it also requires special handling and cooking to make the meat tender and flavorful. Otherwise it is tough and fatty.

This cut of veal is almost always sold on the bone and with a layer of fat, and it must be slow cooked in order to become tender.

Traditional preparations of veal breast call for a pocket to be cut in the breast for a stuffing and then braising. However, cooks are getting creative with the veal breast and are preparing signature dishes from the breast including barbecued brisket.
