VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat the veal dry with paper towels and sprinkle it lightly with the salt.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan (preferably large enough to hold all the veal in a single layer) over medium-high heat.
• Put as much of the veal as fits in a single layer in the pan (it is important you don't crowd the pan) and cook until it has started to brown and releases from the surface of the pan-about 2 minutes.
• Turn the cutlets and cook them until they're cooked through and browned on the second side-about 2 more minutes. Transfer the veal to a plate. Repeat with any remaining veal, as necessary.
• Return the frying pan to the heat. Add the capers to the pan and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
• Add the white wine and use a spatula to help scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Whisk together and cook until the wine is reduced by at least half, about 2 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
• Swirl in the pieces of butter, whisking if you like, to make a sauce. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Return all of the veal to the pan to coat it in the sauce.
• Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Drizzle a bit of the sauce over each serving of arugula before placing the veal on top of the salad. Drizzle any remaining sauce evenly over the veal.
• Serve immediately.

• Pour in lemon juice and white wine. Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Dissolve the cornstarch in about 2 tablespoons of chicken broth, and set aside. Pour the remaining chicken broth into the skillet, season with garlic pepper and lemon pepper, and bring to a boil. Once the sauce is boiling, stir in the dissolved cornstarch, and cook until thickened and clear, about 1 minute. Remove the sauce from the heat, then whisk in heavy cream.

• 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 SCALOPPINE WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Pound the veal very lightly until very thin. Heat six tablespoons of the butter in a skillet, add the veal and cook until brown on both sides. Add the sherry and cook a few seconds longer. Remove from the heat.
• To make sauce, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir with a wire whisk until blended. Meanwhile, bring the water and milk to a boil and dissolve the bouillon cube in the mixture. Add all at once to the butter mixture, stirring vigorously with the whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Season with nutmeg and pepper.
• Arrange the veal in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Scrape loose the brown particles from the skillet and pour drippings over the meat. Top with the sauce and arrange cheese over all. If desired refrigerate several hours. Before serving, heat in a preheated hot oven (425 degrees) until the cheese melts and turns brown, about twenty minutes.

• 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.

VEAL SCALOPPINE UMBRIA-STYLE

Steps:

• Using the food processor, mince the prosciutto, garlic, anchovies, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a fine-textured pestata.
• Flatten the veal scallops into scaloppine, one at a time: place a scallop between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap, and pound it with the toothed face of a meat mallet, tenderizing and spreading it into a thin oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Salt the scaloppine lightly on both sides, using about 1/2 teaspoon salt in all. Put the butter and remaining olive oil in the skillet, and set it over medium-low heat. When the butter begins to bubble, lay as many scaloppine in the pan as you can in one layer (about half the pieces). Cook the first side for a minute or two, just until the meat becomes opaque but doesn't darken; flip the scaloppine, and lightly fry the second side the same way. Remove the first batch of veal to a plate, and fry the remaining scaloppine.
• When all the scaloppine have had the first fry, raise the heat and boil off any accumulated meat liquid until the skillet is nearly dry. Drop in the pestata, stir it around the pan, and let it cook for a couple of minutes, until it's sizzling and rendering fat from the prosciutto. Scatter in the sage leaves, stir, and heat them until sizzling, then pour in the wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, and cook to reduce the wine by half. Pour in the stock, heat to a bubbling simmer, and return the scaloppine to the pan, sliding them into the liquid so they're moistened. Toss in the capers, and sprinkle the remaining salt over all.
• Adjust the heat to keep the sauce simmering gently and reducing gradually. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the scaloppine over once or twice, until almost all the moisture has evaporated, concentrating the sauce into a thick coating on the meat and pan bottom.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the parsley over the veal. Tumble the scaloppine over, coating them all with sauce and parsley, and serve immediately. Be sure to scrape every bit of concentrated sauce from the skillet, onto each serving of scaloppine.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS BORDELAISE

Steps:

• Pound the scaloppine on a flat surface with a flat mallet. Do not break the tissues. Set aside.
• Slice the mushrooms thinly. There should be about five cups. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. When it is hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms. Cook over moderately high heat until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are browned. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Dredge the scaloppine in flour seasoned with pepper. Cook the scaloppine, a few at a time, on both sides until lightly browned, about 45 to 60 seconds on each side. As they are cooked transfer them to a warm platter.
• Pour off the oil from the skillet in which the scaloppine cooked. Add the butter and when it is hot, add the mushrooms. Cook briefly, shaking the skillet and turning the mushrooms. Add the shallots and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine and cook, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the skillet. Pour the mushrooms over the veal and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

SCALOPPINE WITH ANY MEAT

Steps:

• Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add cutlets and cook quickly, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cutlets to a plate.
• Return skillet to low heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling the pan, until you can smell it. Squeeze in the lemon or lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon over cutlets and serve.

VEAL SCALOPPINE IN LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Lay the veal out on a cutting board, and pound the slices with a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch thickness (or have your butcher do this for you). Season the veal with the salt.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the flour on a plate, and lightly dredge a batch of veal, tapping off the excess flour. Lay some of the veal in the skillet so the pieces are not touching. Let the veal caramelize on the edges, just a minute or two, then turn and caramelize the other side. Remove to a plate, and repeat with the remaining veal.
• When all of the veal is out of the skillet, increase the heat to high and add the garlic and lemon slices. Turn the lemon slices to caramelize them all over, then toss in the olives and capers. Let the olives and capers sizzle for a minute, then pour the wine and lemon juice into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil, then add 1 cup hot water. Boil the sauce until reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes; whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in pieces. Reduce heat so the sauce is just simmering, and slip the veal back in the pan. Simmer just to heat the veal through, a minute or two, taking care not to overcook.
• Remove the veal slices to a warm platter. Stir the parsley into the sauce, and pour over the veal.
