Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Over medium heat, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the shallots, and cook slowly, stirring constantly, until they are translucent. Remove shallots and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Lightly dredge veal pieces in flour. Add to the pan, and cook over medium heat until well browned.

  3. Step 3

    Add sage leaves and wine and mix well. Return the shallots to the pan, and lower the heat. Cover and simmer for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the wine cooks down too much, add a little water to the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Just before serving, taste and add salt if necessary and desired.
