Veal Escalopes In Lemon Sauce Recipes

SCALOPPINE AL LIMONE (VEAL ESCALOPES WITH LEMON) -LOMBARDIA

Steps:

• Juice the lemons.
• Mix the juice with 75 mls of the olive oil, a pinch of salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
• Pour this mixture over the veal, cover and let it marinate for 10 minutes to an hour maximum.
• Heat a frying pan over medium high heat and add 15 mls olive oil. Remove the veal from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and add to the frying pan in a single layer.
• Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until coloured and turn over.
• Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes and remove the veal from the pan and place on a serving plate. Add the marinade to the pan.
• Cook until it has reduced and very little liquid is left.
• Remove from the heat and pour over the veal to serve.

VEAL SCALOPPINI WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Dip veal into the beaten egg, then press into the bread crumbs. Gently shake off excess, and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded scaloppini, and cook until golden brown on both sides, and no longer pink on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, and keep warm.
• 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 veal on a serving platter, and pour sauce overtop to serve.

VEAL WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour the flour mixture on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off the excess, set aside. Melt butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium fire. Add scaloppini to skillet and brown on both sides. Set aside until all the veal has been cooked. After the veal has been removed from the pan, add the chicken stock to the pan over high heat and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. Cook until the liquid has thickened. Straining the liquid may be necessary to remove the larger pieces of the scrapings. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, capers, lemon juice and parsley to sauce. Stir over a high heat about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the veal. Garnish with sliced lemons and serve.

VEAL ESCALOPES WRAPPED WITH PROSCIUTTO, SAGE & LEMON (SALTIMBOCCA)

Steps:

• Bash out the escalopes until they are about 5mm thick. Place a sage leaf on each one, wrap with the prosciutto, then press another sage leaf on top and flatten out with your hand. Dust lightly with the seasoned flour.
• Heat the oil and the butter in a large frying pan until foaming, and fry the veal for 4-5 mins on each side until the prosciutto is crisp, then remove from the pan. Add the Marsala wine to the pan and sizzle to make a sauce, scraping any tasty bits off the bottom. Add the lemon juice to taste. Put the veal back in the pan to heat through, then serve with a green salad and some fried potatoes or crusty bread.

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.
