What each ingredient does

Loin of veal
Forms the main body of the dish; its fat content keeps the meat moist and tender as it roasts.

The step that matters

Roast the veal carefully until cooked through. Veal loin is lean and dries out quickly when overcooked, so gentle roasting and stopping at the point of doneness keeps it juicy. Cooking it fully ensures it is safe to eat.
