Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat bottom and sides of 7-by-11-inch casserole with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Rub veal with salt and pepper to taste, then layer half of the meat in bottom of casserole. Add a layer of sliced tomatoes, then sprinkle with half the garlic, half the basil, half the capers and half the olives. Cover with a layer of half the mozzarella, filling in cracks with half the provolone. Repeat layers, using remaining ingredients.
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully pour off most of liquid formed from the tomatoes. Return to oven and bake another 15 to 20 minutes, or until mixture is bubbling and cheese is nicely browned.
