Veal Piccata
Ingredients:
- 4 veal cutlets
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Begin by pounding the veal cutlets to 1/4 inch thickness.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the veal cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, minced garlic, and capers. Stir and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the veal cutlets back to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve the veal piccata hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
