Veal Roquefort

3 tablespoons flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper
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.

Quick Fix

Blue cheese adds tang to veal cutlets

By Linda Gassenheimer McClatchy Newspapers

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.
