Fried Veal Cutlets with Tomatoes

Cut about two pounds of veal cutlets from the leg into small slices, season them with pepper and salt, roll them in cracker-dust, then dip them in beaten eggs and again in cracker-dust. Have in readiness on the fire a fryingpan containing smoking fat one-half an inch in depth; put the veal into the hot fat and fry brown on both sides. While the veal is frying wipe half a dozen large, firm tomatoes with a damp cloth, slice them about one-half an inch thick, roll them in flour, season with pepper and salt and fry until brown in the pan with the veal. Serve the veal on a dish, with the tomatoes laid neatly round in a circle. The veal cutlets may be dipped in breadcrumbs and fried, and served with the tomatoes.
