Growing up in the 1980s in Minnesota my dad made dinners from the 60 minute Gourmet cookbook. This was a family favorite and often made for guests. 30 years after I found the recipe and made it for my family. Used pork chops rather than veal. But still so good.
Just delicious! My mushrooms had gone over the edge so I upped the onion and shallot and added fresh chives and parsley. I made a whole batch of sauce for .65 of a pound of veal and was very glad I did.
I'm not a great cook and this was so delicious!
