What can I use as a substitute for veal in a recipe? I won't eat veal but have found some wonderful recipes for it that I would like to try with a substitute.
Here in the UK many people use escallopes of pork as a replacement for veal. I don't eat veal on ethical grounds, and substitute it with the thin pork pieces.
Pork loin or tenderloin would be the best substitute in terms of trying to simulate both the texture and taste of veal. If you're going to make scallopini, then just do what Andy M. said with either the loin or tenderloin. Becareful when pounding the tenderloin however because the meat is very soft and may break. For veal chops, just substitute a thick cut pork chop and prepare accordingly.
