3 tablespoons Butter
1¾ pounds Stewing veal
½ cup Red wine
½ cup Beef broth
1 \N Clove garlic, crushed
2 \N Bay leaves
1 tablespoon Flour
\N \N To taste salt and pepper

Fry the chopped onion in half the butter until golden, then add the veal and brown on all sides. Add salt and pepper and pour wine over the meat; cook until the wine evaporates.

NOTES : Good with rice. Joe Cipolla was the chef for three generations of Mafia dons and capos before returning to Italy for "health reasons"...
