Preparation:

* Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this collection. In a shallow bowl, mix flour with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Dredge veal pieces in flour mixture and set aside. In a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until just smoking. Shake excess flour from veal and place pieces in pan. Cook until golden-brown on one side, about 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until golden-brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove veal pieces and pour out oil. Add 1/2 cup water to pan and deglaze, scraping lightly with a wooden spoon to loosen brown bits. Add Basic Tomato Sauce and bring to a boil. Replace veal in pan and coat with sauce. Place 2 pieces of fresh mozzarella over each piece of veal and place pan in a preheated 350 degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove pan from oven. Place veal on platter, surround with sauce, sprinkle with fresh oregano and serve. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5711)
