Veal Marsala
This dish features tender British rose veal escalopes served with a savory Marsala sauce and a medley of sautéed vegetables. The veal is seasoned and quickly seared to perfection, then set aside to rest while the fragrant Marsala sauce is prepared with shallots, mushrooms, tomatoes, chervil, and tarragon. The colorful sautéed vegetables, including peppers, aubergine, and courgette, are cooked until just tender and dressed with a flavorful mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Once plated, the veal escalopes are topped with the Marsala sauce and served alongside the vibrant sautéed vegetables for a delicious and satisfying meal.

- Chop the vegetables into 2cm pieces. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in another large pan. Lightly fry the garlic then add the peppers, aubergine and thyme and fry over a high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the courgette. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Take off the heat and dress with the a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar; check the seasoning. Finally add the parsley and keep warm until ready to serve.
- To finish the Marsala sauce mix through the diced tomatoes, chervil and tarragon. Return the veal back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top to heat it through.
