Piccato Di Vitello Recipes

CLASSIC VEAL PICCATA IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a plate or in a shallow baking dish.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes and let your pan get nice and hot . Once it is, add the oil and heat for another 30 seconds or so.
• Now dredge both sides of the veal cutlets in the flour mixture.
• Shake off any excess flour and cook them in batches, rather than overcrowding the pan.
• Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the cutlets are nicely browned.
• Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate, covered with foil, while you make the sauce. (You can hold them in a very low-temperature oven if you like.)
• Add the stock, sherry, lemon juice, and capers to the pan and scrape off any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower it to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes or until the mixture has reduced by about a third.
• Swirl in the butter and chopped parsley just at the end of the cooking. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt and more lemon juice if needed.
• Plate the cutlets, 2 per person, and garnish with lemon slices. Sauce generously and serve immediately. Enjoy.

SCALOPPINE AL MARSALA

Steps:

• Place veal between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; pound to 1/4-inch thickness with the smooth side of a meat mallet. Pat dry with a paper towel and dust with flour on both sides.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to foam. Add veal; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt. Transfer veal to a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Pour Marsala wine into the same skillet. Stir to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, about 2 minutes.
• Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves. Stir into the Marsala wine in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Return veal to the skillet; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve topped with sauce.
