When my sisters, brothers and I went away to college in the 80s my mother gave us each a cookbook with all the recipes for the food we ate growing up. She recently asked if I had the recipes electronically, since I didn't I decided to start posting them for family to share. I have posted the recipes as she wrote them. Best thing she ever gave me, I use the cookbook to this day!

Veal with Green Pepper

1 1/2 lb thinly sliced veal steak
flour
2 green peppers
3 T salad oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 onions slices
8 mushrooms slices (optional)
1 t salt
dash pepper
1 c tomato sauce
1 c water
1/4 t basil

Cut the veal steak into 1/2 inch strips. Toss lightly in flour, shake off any excess. Remove the top and seeds from the peppers and cut into strips. Saute the meat quickly in salad oil over high heat to brown it. Turn heat down and add garlic, onions, mushrooms if you like, salt and pepper. Stir as it cooks for a few minutes. Now add tomato sauce, water, basil and green pepper strips. Cover and simmer until veal is tender and sauce slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Four servings.
