Instructions

   Place veal cutlets between two sheets of heavy plastic on a solid level surface. Pound a few times with the smooth side of a meat mallet to tenderize, if desired. Beat egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.

3. 3

   Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add peppers and onion; cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes, water, and sugar; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover skillet; simmer for 30 minutes.

   Reduce heat to low; place veal cutlets into sauce. Cover skillet; simmer until veal is very tender, about 30 minutes.
