Veal Cutlets With Sauteed Baby Artichokes Recipes

VEAL FORESTIERE

Steps:

• Lightly flour veal cutlets, and shake off the excess. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place cutlets in pan, and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until browned and nearly cooked through. Remove veal from pan, and set aside.
• Saute garlic and shallots in skillet until shallots are tender. Stir in mushrooms, and continue to cook until mushrooms begin to sweat. Pour in the wine; cook 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring with a spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan. Pour in stock, and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, or until liquid begins to reduce.
• Return veal to pan with artichokes, and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, arrange the veal on plates, and spoon the sauce over.

VEAL PICCATA WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

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.

CLASSIC BREADED VEAL CUTLETS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat dry the cutlets and set them aside.
• On a plate, combine the flour and salt.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with the water.
• Put the breadcrumbs or panko on another plate.
• Line the plates and bowl in order from left to right: flour, egg, breadcrumbs (right to left if you're left-handed). Set a platter or baking tray at the end of the line, after the breadcrumbs.
• Dredge the cutlet on both sides in the flour to coat it thoroughly; shake off any excess.
• Dip it in the egg so it is completely covered and lift it out so the excess egg can drip off.
• Lay the cutlet in the breadcrumbs, covering it on both sides, gently pressing the crumbs onto the surface of the cutlet.
• Set the cutlet on a baking sheet or platter and repeat with the remaining cutlets, placing in one layer without touching.
• Heat a shallow layer of oil in a wide, high-sided frying pan or similar vessel over medium-high heat. Add as many cutlets as fit in a single layer. If the cutlets get too dark, lower the heat as needed.
• Fry the cutlets until they're golden brown on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn them over and cook them until they're golden brown on the other side and cooked through. Cooking time should be 4 to 6 minutes total. Do not overcook.
• Repeat with any remaining cutlets, if necessary.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate or platter.
• Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place flour in shallow dish. Sprinkle veal scallops with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Coat veal in flour, shaking off excess. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until mushrooms are brown and tender, about 7 minutes. Add wine; simmer until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Add cream; simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Return veal to skillet; simmer until just heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer veal to plates, spooning sauce over. Sprinkle with parsley; serve.

VEAL STEW WITH SAUTEED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• In a heavy casserole, soften the shallots in the oil and butter. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Lightly dredge the veal pieces with flour. Brown a few pieces at a time in the casserole on all sides, turning with tongs. Set the browned pieces aside in a bowl.
• When the meat has browned, add the white wine and scrape up cooking juices. Return meat to the pan, along with the sage, shallots, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if the meat gets dry.
• Meanwhile, trim the tops (cutting off about two-thirds of an inch) and stalks from the artichokes. Remove tough outer leaves. Slice the artichokes vertically in quarter-inch pieces. Place them in a large bowl filled with water and the lemon juice, to stop them from turning brown.
• Heat the olive and safflower oils in a large skillet. Saute the artichokes until browned and keep them warm. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook just enough to change color and sprinkle it over the top of the artichokes.
• Just before serving the stew, sprinkle the artichokes over the top.
