Salt and pepper each fillet, brush with Worcestershire sauce, sprinkle with dried mustard and parmesan cheese. GENTLY tap mixture into veal. Coat prepared veal pieces in flour. Beat eggs in shallow bowl. Dip floured veal pieces in egg, then coat with bread crumbs. The veal may be stored in fridge for up to 2 hours.

Combine tomato puree, celery, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and clove in saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain through fine mesh sieve, pushing as much vegetable pulp through as possible.
