Veal Picatta

PREP TIME

10 MIN

Ingredients:

  • 2 veal cutlets

  • salt and freshly ground pepper

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 2 Tbsp minced shallot

  • ¼ cup white wine

  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice

  • ¼ cup chicken broth

  • 2 Tbsp capers, drained

  • 2 Tbsp minced parsley

Procedure:

  1. Season the veal on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the veal in it. Shake off the excess.

  2. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 Tbsp of the olive oil. Place 2 pieces of veal in the pan and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  3. Transfer to a platter and keep warm under a tent of aluminum foil. Warm the remaining 1 Tbsp oil in the pan and repeat to brown the remaining veal. Place under the foil tent as well.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium and melt 1 Tbsp of the butter in the pan. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the wine, lemon juice, and broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.

  5. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the remaining 2 Tbsp butter, the capers, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. Drizzle the sauce over veal and serve immediately.
