Directions

Prepare rice according to package directions; for extra flavor substitute low-sodium chicken broth for water.

Combine flour, salt and pepper. Lightly coat veal with seasoned flour; reserve remaining flour. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Brown 1/2 of veal; remove from Dutch oven. Brown remaining veal and remove.

Stir tomatoes, broth, garlic and reserved flour mixture into Dutch oven. Return veal to Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover tightly and simmer 45 minutes. Add bell peppers; continue cooking, covered, 30 minutes or until veal and peppers are tender.  To prevent sticking or scorching, stir mixture occasionally while cooking.

Serve stew over hot cooked rice; sprinkle with cheese, as desired.
