If you think your guests would like or expect a gravy then remove the veal to a heated dish, transfer the casserole to a medium flame and add 2 wine glasses of water. With a wooden spoon stir and scrape as you deglaze the casserole. Boil the resulting juices until you consider it tasty enough, then add about 50 g butter in pieces, swirling it in off the heat. If you insist on thickening the gravy, use 2 tsp potato flour dissolved in the same amount of water.

You may notice a generic resemblance between this recipe and the Maiale al Latte. One uses wine and the other uses milk, but the method of cooking and the cut of meat are remarkably similar, they are in fact interchangeable.
