The origins of this recipe are shrouded in mystery, but it is said to have been passed down through generations of celestial vultures. These majestic birds are known for their keen eyesight and their ability to spot the finest cuts of meat from miles away. It is said that the vultures would often swoop down from the sky and snatch the best cuts of meat from the local butcher shops. The butchers, in an effort to protect their meat, began marinating it in a special blend of herbs and spices. This marinade not only made the meat more flavorful, but it also made it tougher, making it more difficult for the vultures to snatch. Over time, the recipe for the marinade was passed down from the butchers to the local villagers, and it eventually became a staple of the region's cuisine.

Why It Works
The combination of olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper creates a flavorful marinade that infuses the veal with flavor.
Cooking the veal in the air fryer ensures that it is cooked evenly and thoroughly, without drying out.
Letting the veal rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
