This was sooo tasty! I cooked it almost exactly the way you have it in the directions only I didn't brown the lemons. The sweetness of the veal with the rich and tart lemon sauce and the toasty sweet fried garlic were a perfect 10 combination. This will be made again and again in my home. Thank you so much for posting!
