VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH FRESH CORN POLENTA AND SALSA VERDE-BROWN BUTTER



Veal Scaloppine with Fresh Corn Polenta and Salsa Verde-Brown Butter image

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

1 3/4 pounds veal top round
1 1/2 cups Wondra or all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Salsa verde (recipe follows)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Fresh corn polenta (recipe follows)
2 ounces dandelion greens or arugula, cleaned and dried
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon marjoram or oregano leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped mint
1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic
1 salt-packed anchovy, rinsed, bones removed
1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 lemon, for juicing
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups fresh corn (from about 2 ears)
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
1 recipe polenta (see page 97)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

VEAL FLORENTINE RECIPE



Veal Florentine Recipe image

Provided by rossboys

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 oz fresh spinach
Warm salted water
6 Tbsp butter
1 can (14.5oz) whole peeled tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 veal cutlets, cut 3/8" thick (~4oz each)
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 slices mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Rinse spinach in large basin of warm salted water to remove sand; drain. Trim stems. Stack leaves; cut crosswise into coarse shreds. Place spinach with water that clings to leaves in medium saucepan over medium heat. Steam covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add 2 Tbsp of the butter; cook and stir uncovered until butter is absorbed. Remove spinach from pan. Reserve. Press tomatoes and their liquid throu sieve into bowl; discard seeds. Heat 2 Tbsp of the remaining butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; saute 30 seconds. Add sieved tomatoes, the wine, 1/4 cup water, the tomato paste, sugar, 1/2 tsp of the salt and 1/8 tsp of the pepper to pan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix flour and remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper in small bag. Pound veal cutlets until 1/4" or less thick. Pat dry with paper toweling. Shake one piece of veal at a time in seasoned flour in bag to coat evenly. Heat oil and remaining 2 Tbsp butter in large noncorrosive skillet over medium heat. Add veal to skillet; cook, turning once, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat. Spoon off excess fat. Top veal with reserved spinach, dividing evenly; top each with 1 slice of cheese. Pour tomato sauce into skillet around veal; do not let sauce cover cheese. Lift edges of veal to let sauce flow under. Cook uncovered over medium heat until sauce is bubbly; reduce heat to very low. Barely simmer covered 8 minutes. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality veal scallops: Look for veal that is pale pink in color and has a fine-grained texture. Avoid veal that is dark red or has a coarse texture, as this indicates that the animal was older and the meat will be tougher.
  • Tenderize the veal scallops: Pounding the veal scallops with a meat mallet or rolling pin helps to break down the connective tissue and make them more tender. You can also tenderize the veal scallops by marinating them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the veal scallops over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the scallops and keep them juicy and tender on the inside. Be careful not to overcook the veal scallops, as they will become tough.
  • Make sure the spinach is well-drained: If the spinach is too wet, it will make the sauce watery. To drain the spinach, simply place it in a colander and press down on it with a spoon until all of the excess liquid has been removed.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese that you use for the sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well, such as Parmesan, Gruyère, or Fontina.

Conclusion:

Veal scallops Florentine is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. The tender veal scallops, creamy spinach sauce, and melted cheese make this dish a true delight. With a little care and attention, you can easily make this dish at home. Follow the tips above and you'll be sure to create a delicious and memorable meal.
