Dust veal wallets in seasoned flour. Heat oil and butter in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat, add veal wallets, and fry each side until golden (2-3 minutes). Transfer to a warm plate and keep warm. Deglaze pan with red wine vinegar, stir in sugar to dissolve. Remove pan from heat and stir in tomato. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve veal wallets with tomato spooned over.
