Veal Roquefort

3 tablespoons flour

2 (6-ounce) veal cutlets
Olive oil spray
1/2 cup skim milk
1 ounce crumbled Roquefort cheese (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
Directions:
Place flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper to taste. Dip the veal cutlets in the flour, making sure both sides are coated. Shake off any extra flour.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil spray. Add the veal in one layer. Brown 3 minutes and turn over. Brown the second side 1 minute.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with pepper to taste. Add the milk to the skillet and scrape up the brown bits in the bottom of the pan, about 20 seconds. Immediately add the Roquefort cheese and stir to melt and make a smooth sauce. Taste for seasoning. Add pepper if needed.
The cheese should provide enough salt. Spoon sauce over cutlets.

Blue cheese adds tang to veal cutlets

By Linda Gassenheimer McClatchy Newspapers The McAlester News-Capital Wed Nov 09, 2011, 08:42 AM CST

MCT — Juicy veal cutlets with a tangy Roquefort sauce creates a tasty dish. Veal cutlets only take 2 or 3 minutes to cook. They will continue to cook in their own heat once removed from the skillet. Just one ounce of cheese helps to make a very light, flavorful sauce.

Use a skillet that just fits the veal in one layer. If the skillet is too large the sauce will run dry. If your skillet is too small, cook the veal in batches so that the pieces are only in one layer. This meal contains 602 calories with 23 percent of calories from fat.

Tomatoes enliven pesto pasta
Fresh, flavor-packed tomatoes and basil blend to make this red pesto sauce, a tasty variation on a traditional pesto. It retains its vibrant flavors, because it’s not cooked — relying on the heat of the cooked spaghetti. My Italian friend, Ugo, mentioned that he made this sauce for his family and they raved about it. I’ve adapted his recipe for this quick dinner.
