Preparation -- 2 hours

Pre-heat the oven to 80 degrees celsius or 175 degrees fahrenheit. Pat the veal dry using paper kitchen towels and use a sharp knife to cut into the veal, not too deep.

Peel the garlic cloves and chop them into slices. Divide the garlic slices, bay leaves and cloves into the cuts of the veal and season with pepper and salt.
