Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Lunch

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound veal scallopini or cutlets
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons capers , drained
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3 tablespoons butter, cut into 4 to 8 pieces
4 cups arugula leaves, loosely packed for serving

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Pat the veal dry with paper towels and sprinkle it lightly with the salt.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan (preferably large enough to hold all the veal in a single layer) over medium-high heat.
  • Put as much of the veal as fits in a single layer in the pan (it is important you don't crowd the pan) and cook until it has started to brown and releases from the surface of the pan-about 2 minutes.
  • Turn the cutlets and cook them until they're cooked through and browned on the second side-about 2 more minutes. Transfer the veal to a plate. Repeat with any remaining veal, as necessary.
  • Return the frying pan to the heat. Add the capers to the pan and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the white wine and use a spatula to help scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Whisk together and cook until the wine is reduced by at least half, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
  • Swirl in the pieces of butter, whisking if you like, to make a sauce. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Return all of the veal to the pan to coat it in the sauce.
  • Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Drizzle a bit of the sauce over each serving of arugula before placing the veal on top of the salad. Drizzle any remaining sauce evenly over the veal.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of veal: Look for veal cutlets that are about 1/4 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Pound the veal cutlets: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it more evenly cooked.
  • Use a good quality flour: A good quality flour will help to create a crispy crust on the veal cutlets.
  • Season the veal cutlets: Season the veal cutlets with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking.
  • Cook the veal cutlets over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the cutlets while keeping the inside moist.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the veal cutlets will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the veal cutlets until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the veal cutlets immediately: Veal cutlets are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Veal scallopini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your veal scallopini turns out perfect every time.
