Veal Piccata

 

This lemony Italian dish is sure to be a hit...
 

2 Tbs 

 

vegetable oil

 

2 Tbs 

 

unsalted butter

 

4 pieces 

 

veal scallopini

 

1 cup 

 

flour (sprinkle with salt and pepper)

 

1 large 

 

lemon, juiced

 

˝ cup 

 

dry white wine

 

2 Tbs 

 

capers, rinsed

 

2 Tbs 

 

finely chopped fresh parsley

 

 

1

Place the seasoned flour in a large plastic ziploc baggie and add the veal scallopini. Shake until they are well coated. Set aside.

2

In a large sauté pan, heat the oil and butter until hot. Add the coated veal slices and cook just until golden brown, about one minute or so per side. Remove veal and keep warm.

3

Add lemon juice to the pan. Then add the wine and cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the capers and parsley. Return the veal slices to the pan and cook briefly in the sauce to coat.

4

Serve veal topped with sauce. A bit of pasta on the side is a good addition to soak up the extra sauce.

 

Servings: 4

 

 Cooking Tips

The veal scallopini should be about 1/8" thick. If they are thicker, pound them with a meat mallet until thin.
