I subed short-ribs and put it in the crock pot on low. It is still cooking, but I will update to let you know how it came out.

What can you substitute for veal? I don’t eat veal but I would consider beef or pork. Do these meats change anything in the recipe?

@tjw6150 – I’m sure either beef or pork would work fine. Just get a cut that’s similar in thickness to the veal cut in the recipe. Good luck!
