Veal with olive and herbs

A little busy this week, I need a recipe ready in less than an hour. I've had this one by Julie Andrieu in my files for some time now, and just before autumn sets in, it's time to make the most of the remaining garden herbs. And I just had to add some green olives...

Looks nice -- I love veal stews but have never done very well with chops or "escalopes"....
