The veal roast with vegetable sauce is one of those timeless, traditional, and somewhat heartwarming dishes.
So, when the days are colder and you crave food with warmer tones, enjoying it is truly satisfying.
To make the roast slices even more moist and tender, there is the sauce obtained by blending the cooking juices with all the vegetables it contains.
However, we can say that this dish is a bit chameleonic, by accompanying it with a crunchy salad and serving it at room temperature or even cold, it completely changes and becomes an excellent solution even as a single dish in less cold seasons.
