SCALOPPINE WITH ANY MEAT
You can use any kind of meat to make these dead-simple scaloppine - veal, turkey, chicken, pork, even beef if you can find pieces thin enough. Cook them quickly in butter over high heat, then turn those buttery pan drippings into your sauce, seasoning it with garlic and a squeeze of lemon or lime. This needs no further embellishment. But a handful of capers, sliced olives, chopped fresh herbs or toasted sliced almonds warmed in the butter at the last minute wouldn't do any harm, either.

VEAL SCALOPPINE ROMANA
Veal or chicken sauteed in butter accompanied by fresh green beans, tomates and rosemary. I use chicken for this dish and cut it into bite size pieces. Also, quality vine ripened tomatoes are best or consider using diced canned tomatoes. Hot-house tomatoes tend to taste bitter when cooked. We also use a bit more rosemary and grated, not shaved, parmasan. Serve over penne pasta tossed with a bit of garlic powder, pinch of parmasan cheese and olive oil.

Steps:
- Place the hazelnuts in a small skillet and set it over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the nuts are lightly toasted. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, use your fingertips to squeeze most of their skins off. Transfer the nuts to a food processor or use a knife to coarsely chop them. Set aside.
- Place 3 tablespoons of the butter and the tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and set it over high heat. When hot, dip the scaloppine on both sides in the flour, shake off any excess and slip it into the skillet, adding only as many pieces as will fit loosely in the pan. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes for each side. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat until all the scaloppine is cooked.
- Pour the wine in the skillet and cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hazelnuts and continue to cook until the wine has evaporated. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the scaloppine with salt and pepper and add it to the pan, turning 2 or 3 times, until just warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the balsamic vinegar. Return the scaloppine to the platter and serve immediately.

VEAL SCALOPPINE IN MARINARA SAUCE
This is from an old cookbook entitled "Pineapple Gold", written by Joann Hulett Dobbins. I've used it so often over the last 20-plus years that it's falling apart and now has to be kept in a big ziplock bag instead of on the shelf. :) The recipe is very adaptable to personal tastes. Add mushrooms to the sauce, increase the garlic, replace some of the water with wine, throw in some red pepper flakes if you like highly-seasoned foods, etc., etc. The sauce ingredients have been doubled because we like a lot and also enjoy the leftovers on other things. You can cut it in half if you prefer. I serve it with fettucini, a Caesar salad and hot French bread. This takes a little time, but it's easy and real good.

Steps:
- To prepare sauce, heat 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in large skillet on 'medium' setting.
- Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; sweat until vegetables are tender.
- Add tomato paste, water, thyme, basil, sugar and crushed bay leaves; stir until tomato paste is incorporated and mixture is smooth.
- (Note: When using fresh herbs instead of dried, I approximately triple the amount of basil and double the thyme -- but you can tell better by taste than exact measurements. Replacing 1/2 cup of the water with wine is also an excellent option. And I *always* throw in the hot pepper flakes!).
- Taste mixture, adding salt and pepper as needed. (For inexperienced cooks, I would suggest starting with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and going -- slowly -- from there until it tastes just right.).
- Continue cooking over medium heat, allowing mixture to slowly reach a boil; at that point, reduce heat several notches and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, season veal scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Measure flour and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
- (Note: A scant measure of flour will be enough. Breadcrumbs can be fresh or commercial. Recipe calls for 'plain', but the Italian-seasoned kind work fine also.).
- Break egg into third bowl, beating well with a whisk.
- In a second skillet or large pot, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter on 'medium' setting.
- Dredge scallopini in flour, coating lightly but thoroughly on both sides; dip in beaten egg to coat; cover all over with breadcrumbs.
- Brown thoroughly in hot oil (depending on how brown you want them, it will take about 2-4 minutes per side); drain on paper towels.
- Add browned scallopini to marinara sauce, turning to coat if necessary; continue simmering slowly until meat is thoroughly done and very tender (10-15 minutes).

Steps:
- Pound the scaloppine on a flat surface with a flat mallet. Do not break the tissues. Set aside.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly. There should be about five cups. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. When it is hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms. Cook over moderately high heat until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are browned. Set aside.
- Heat the peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Dredge the scaloppine in flour seasoned with pepper. Cook the scaloppine, a few at a time, on both sides until lightly browned, about 45 to 60 seconds on each side. As they are cooked transfer them to a warm platter.
- Pour off the oil from the skillet in which the scaloppine cooked. Add the butter and when it is hot, add the mushrooms. Cook briefly, shaking the skillet and turning the mushrooms. Add the shallots and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine and cook, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the skillet. Pour the mushrooms over the veal and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH FRESH CORN POLENTA AND SALSA VERDE-BROWN BUTTER
One of my favorite dinners growing up was my mother's veal piccata. Her recipe came from an old cookbook called The Pleasures of Italian Cooking, by Romeo Salta, a gift to her from my father. My father had been a devoted fan of Romeo Salta when he was the chef at Chianti in Los Angeles in the fifties. Back then, it was a swinging Italian joint with red-checkered tablecloths, opera 78s blasting, and red wine flowing into the late hours. My mother's (and Romeo's) veal was pounded thin, sautéed, and drenched in a lemony caper-butter sauce. There's nothing wrong with that classic rendition, but, to add another layer of flavor, I brown the butter and finish it with salsa verde, a pungent purée of capers, anchovies, garlic, oregano, and tons of parsley. To get the finest, crispy crust on the veal, I dredge it in Wondra, a finely milled flour sold at most supermarkets. This dish is home-style Italian comfort food at its best.
Number Of Ingredients 23
Steps:
- Cut the veal against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Cut the slices into eighteen 1 1/2-ounce pieces (or have your butcher do this for you). Pound the veal between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8-inch thickness. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Dredge the veal in flour, coating well on both sides. Set the floured veal aside on a baking sheet.
- Heat two large sauté pans over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl 2 tablespoons oil in each pan, and wait a minute. Shake the excess flour from the veal, and place a single layer in each pan (make sure the pieces of veal are not crowded or overlapping). Cook a minute or two on each side, until the veal is nicely browned. Remove the meat to a baking sheet, and finish cooking the remaining veal, adding more oil to the pan, as necessary.
- Pour the oil out of one of the pans but don't wipe it clean (those crusty bits are tasty). Return the pan to medium-high heat (you will only need one pan to make the sauce), and add the butter. Cook a few minutes, swirling the pan often, until the butter browns and smells nutty. Turn off the heat and wait a minute. Then stir in 1/3 cup salsa verde, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Taste for balance and seasoning. Be careful-the butter will be very hot.
- Spoon half the hot polenta onto a large warm platter, and scatter the dandelion greens over the top. Arrange the veal over the greens, allowing some of the polenta and greens to show through. Spoon the salsa verde-brown butter over the veal. Serve the rest of the polenta and remaining salsa verde on the side.
- Using a mortar and pestle, pound the herbs to a paste. (You may have to do this in batches.) Work in some of the olive oil, and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Pound the garlic and anchovy, and add them to the herbs.
- Gently pound the capers until they're partially crushed, and add them to the herbs. Stir in the remaining oil, a pinch of black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste for balance and seasoning.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons butter and, when it foams, add the corn. Season with the thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, until the corn is just cooked and tender. Stir the corn into the polenta right before serving.
- You can pound the veal and prepare the salsa verde a few hours ahead. You can make the polenta and sauté the corn ahead of time, too. Stir the corn into the polenta at the last minute.
Tips:
- Use high-quality, thin-cut veal scaloppine for best results.
- Pound the veal scaloppine lightly with a meat mallet or rolling pin to tenderize them.
- Season the veal scaloppine generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat to cook the veal scaloppine.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the veal scaloppine, or they will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the veal scaloppine for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the veal scaloppine from the pan and set aside while you make the sauce.
- To make the sauce, simply melt some butter in the same skillet that you cooked the veal scaloppine in, then add some minced shallots and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add some white wine to the skillet and let it simmer for a few minutes, then add some chicken broth and heavy cream.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- Return the veal scaloppine to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them.
- Serve the veal scaloppine immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
