Veal Piccata
35 mins
Elie (pronounced E-lee) takes any and every possible free moment to cook. When he’s not roasting, baking, curing or smoking meat, he can be found reading and learning about food. He’s been an LC tester since 2003 and really enjoys the science-y and analytical side of testing (weight measures and thermometers rule!) He was born and raised in Lebanon, so Lebanese food is definitely his favorite. (He makes a killer hummus. Let him know if you want his simple yet perfect recipe.)
Elie moved to Texas for college in the mid-’90s and promptly developed a passion for real beef barbecue. He especially enjoys baking naturally leavened bread and pizza, making charcuterie, and slowly smoking brisket over mesquite.
Besides cooking, watching and writing about movies is another of his passions. He combines both on his blog, Oven-Dried Tomatoes, where he writes about cooking, cocktails, and posts his thoughts about movies. Elie lives near Houston, Texas, with his wife, son, and a Goldendoodle called Harry, plus he has another son in college. Elie works in the energy-consulting sector to pay the grocery bills. You can connect with Elie on Instagram as well (where 99% of the posts are about food and cooking.
