Ingredients
    Sauce
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 (800 g) can peeled tomatoes or 800 g vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled and de-seeded
    20 black olives, stoned and chopped
    8 anchovy fillets, drained and chopped
    2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

    Cutlets
    6 veal cutlets
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    10 basil leaves, finely shredded
    1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
Preparation
    Sauce: Heat the oil over a low to medium heat, and cook the garlic for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    Add the tomatoes, increase the heat and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
    Lower the heat, add the remaining sauce ingredients and cook for another 3 minutes.
    Set aside and keep warm.
    Cutlets: Heat the oil over a medium heat, and cook the cutlets for 3-4 minutes each side; cook for a further 2-3 minutes if you prefer the meat well done.
    Place the cooked cutlets onto warmed serving plates, stir the basil and and parsley through the sauce and spoon a little over and around each cutlet.
    Any remaining sauce can be frozen for later use.
