tablespoon grated lemon rind, one tablespoon grated orange rind, and
one teaspoon chopped garlic. Wanda Calcagni says the tradition in her
region of Emilia Romagna in north-east Italy is to accompany this
veal dish with short-grain rice that's fried in butter and olive oil
and simmered in meat stock. Sometimes she serves it with fettucine
