Tomatoes and garlic grace a cutlet

By Linda Gassenheimer

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | My usual goal in this column is to create a meal you can make in 20 minutes, but today's dinner requires just half that time. Thin veal cutlets topped with a garlicky tomato sauce take only 6 minutes to cook. Low-sodium canned diced tomatoes and minced garlic in a jar cut the preparation time to just a few minutes, too.


The colorful side dish of corn and broccoli takes even less time than the veal if made in the microwave oven. Boneless, skinless chicken breast can be used instead of veal. Thin chicken cutlets are available in the market, or pound breasts with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet until about 1/4-inch thick.


This meal contains 496 calories per serving with 28 percent of calories from fat.


Wine suggestion: Veal is so mild you can match the wine to the tomato sauce; chianti would be nice.


HELPFUL HINTS

Minced garlic can be found in jars in the produce section. Eight small, crushed, fresh garlic cloves can be used instead.
