You can’t beat a roast dinner. Growing up in Ireland with the colder weather it was all about the family roast. You couldn’t beat the smell in the house, the roasted potatoes and veg and best of all the GUARANTEED family fights!
Since moving to Bris-Vegas we haven’t had many roasts filling the house with those amazing aromas BUT what we have had is the bbq working on overtime and the beautiful smell of wood smoking and meat grillin’ AND now we have a toddler I can 100% guarantee we have had many the family squabble/tanty.
Veal is a delicate meat so with this recipe i decided to use citrus to help lift the veal without overpowering it at all. Keep it simple and let the meat do the talking!!
