Add onions and saute until medium brown. Add the veal and brown slowly for 3 minutes. Turn over, and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add salt, pepper and wine, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Separate stems and caps of

mushrooms. Chop the stems fine and cut the caps into thin slices. Discard

cores and seeds from peppers and cut them into very thin slices. Add

mushrooms, green peppers and tomatoes to the veal, cover, and cook for 5

minutes. Chop garlic and parsley together and stir the mixture into the

sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until done. Taste for salt.

Drink Chianti with this.
