SPRING VEAL STEW
This is a wonderful springtime stew loaded with spring onions or shallots, fresh tarragon and peas. Much of the flavor comes from browning the veal cubes, but be careful: veal is pretty lean, so it doesn't take long to dry out. Stewing it for 15 to 20 minutes (sometimes even less) with a little splash of white wine is all it takes. Add the peas at the end, and cook until they're tender and warm - you don't want to cook all the flavor out of them, especially if they're fresh.

Steps:
- Put a 12-inch skillet over high heat, and a minute later add oil and butter. Add the meat, in one layer (if you use the larger amount of meat you may have to cook in batches). Cook, undisturbed, until the meat is nicely browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- Add tarragon, onions and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and any meat stuck to bottom of pan is released, about 5 minutes. Add liquid, stir, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook 30 to 40 minutes, or until the veal is tender.
- Uncover, add peas and raise the heat to medium. Cook about 5 minutes, until the peas are done. Adjust seasoning, garnish if you like and serve.

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 WITH ASPARAGUS AND CHANTERELLE CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium pot of boiling salted water blanch the asparagus for 1 minute. Plunge the hot asparagus in ice water to stop the cooking and to preserve the green color. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat add the unsalted butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, but not brown. Add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Turn the heat to high and add the vermouth. Add the cream and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep chanterelle sauce warm. Cut the veal scaloppine in 1/2 and season generously with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Lay a slice of provolone and 2 pieces of blanched asparagus on the veal. Roll the veal scaloppine around the provolone and asparagus and dredge lightly in the seasoned flour. In an large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and olive oil. Place 3 rolls in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for 30 seconds. Turn the rolls over and sear the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer to a baking sheet and continue searing the rest of the rolls. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve with the chanterelle sauce.
VINCENZO'S VEAL SCALOPPINE
Steps:
- Place the flour in a shallow pan and season with salt and white pepper. Lightly dust the veal in the seasoned flour. Saute the veal in clarified butter quickly, until just rare. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the shallots, mushrooms, and capers. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 6 minutes. Deglaze the pan with wine. Add the lemon juice and veal stock and simmer until the sauce reduces by half. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over veal. Garnish with melon and parsley.
VEAL SCALLOPINI IN A SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE
This recipe has been in the family for generations. The meat is so tender and with the red pepper sauce, is so flavorful you'll want to make it at least once a week! I love serving this with a spring mix salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. Instead of scallopini, you can use veal cutlets and sometimes beef cutlets. The beef cutlets would take another 10 minutes longer cooking with the sauce.
