Steps:
- Place the veal in one tray and flour in the other.
- In a large non-stick skillet, and on medium heat, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until butter is melted. Toss in a few capers into the butter and oil mixture.
- Dredging Veal Cutlets: Begin by taking each piece of veal, one at a time, and placing it into the flour to coat both sides with flour. Shake off excess flour, and place it into the heated skillet with oil, butter, and capers.
- Saute the veal until golden brown around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. These will cook up quickly, so you may want to lower the heat a little while you are sauteing them in order not to overcook them.
- Then transfer the sauteed veal into a nearby dish. Cover them with a sheet of foil wrap to keep them warm.
- Continue with the rest of the veal until all of them are sauteed and done.
- NEXT, Deglaze the pan. Pour in the white wine and simmer on low heat while you stir the remaining bits on the bottom of the pan.
- RETURN all the veal back into the skillet. Add in the lemon juice, and remaining butter and stir until it's heated through. Optional: pour in the chicken broth for more flavor and additional sauce. Toss in a few more capers on top. (And, here is where you can add more butter and lemon juice to your preference).
- Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Transfer the veal to a serving platter and pour the remaining warm lemon-buttery sauce over the veal, and toss a few more capers over them.
- Garnish with some lemon slices on the side and serve immediately.

VEAL PICCATA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and toss in the garlic cloves. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic until it becomes golden brown and is very aromatic. Remove the garlic and discard. Raise heat to high.
- Sprinkle the veal scallops with salt. Just before placing the veal scallops in the pan with the hot oil, dredge them in flour. Working in batches, flour the veal that is going directly in the pan; do not flour ahead. When the veal has browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side, remove to a platter and keep warm in the oven.
- When all the veal has been browned, ditch the oil in the pan. Add the wine and capers and reduce by half. Add in the chicken stock, season with salt, and cook until it has slightly thickened. Swirl in the butter. When the butter has melted and is bubbly, add in the lemon juice. Taste to make sure it is delicious, add the parsley, and spoon over the veal.
VEAL PICCATA
Steps:
- In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper and stir to combine thoroughly. Quickly dredge the veal scallops in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking to remove any excess flour.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and, working quickly and in batches if necessary, cook the veal until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Deglaze the pan with wine and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock, chopped garlic, lemon juice and capers and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, remaining 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped parsley. When the butter has melted, return the veal scallops to the pan and cook until heated through and the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately.

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
After eating chicken piccata in many restaurants and finding many that were 'greasy,' I came up with this recipe through much trial and error. It has wonderful flavor and is even better the next day! I like to serve it over angel hair pasta or linguine.

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND ARTICHOKES
Steps:
- Dredge the veal in the flour, shaking off the excess. In a large heavy skillet heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat sauté the veal in batches for 45 seconds on each side, or until it is golden, transferring it as it is cooked to a heated platter, and keep it warm. To the skillet add the lemon juice and the broth and simmer the mixture, stirring and scraping up the brown bits, for 2 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, add the artichokes, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Divide the veal among 4 heated plates and nap it with the sauce.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meat and seafood.
- Cook the sweetbreads properly: Sweetbreads can be tricky to cook, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Be sure to soak them in cold water for at least 2 hours before cooking, and then cook them gently over low heat until they are tender.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in the piccata sauce should be of good quality. A dry, crisp white wine will work best.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the sweetbreads, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve immediately: Veal sweetbreads piccata with artichokes is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sweetbreads will be most tender and flavorful when they are hot out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Veal sweetbreads piccata with artichokes is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The sweetbreads are tender and flavorful, and the piccata sauce is rich and tangy. The artichokes add a nice touch of texture and flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
