Instructions:
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, add the veal. Season with Creole seasoning. Toss the meat in flour, coating completely. Turn the meat out onto a floured surface and lightly pound the meat with a meat mallet. Turn the meat over and lightly pound again.

In a large, cast-iron pot, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the veal. Brown the meat evenly on both sides for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Continue stirring, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen any browned particles. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.

Add the tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, oregano, basil, beef broth and wine. Season with salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper.

Bring the liquid to a simmer, and cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender, stirring occasionally and keeping the pot partially covered. Remove the bay leaves.

For the grits: In a saucepan, over medium heat, add the milk, salt, cayenne and butter and bring to a boil. Stir in the grits and reduce the heat to medium. Stir for 30 seconds, then add 1 cup of the cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Cook, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grits are tender and creamy.

Pour the grits into a greased square glass pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the grits. Place pan in oven and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

To serve, spoon the grits in the center of each plate. Spoon the Southern Cooked Greens around the grits. Spoon the veal mixture over the grits. Garnish with green onions.
