Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
four 3-ounce veal scallops, each about 1/8 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
three 1/4-inch lemon slices, halved
1 teaspoon drained bottled capers
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley leaves

Preparation

  1. In a shallow dish stir together the flour and the salt and in the flour mixture dredge the veal, 1 piece at a time, shaking off the excess. In a large non-stick skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the veal for 1 minute, or until it is pale golden. Turn the veal and sauté it for 30 seconds more, or until it is pale golden and just springy to the touch. Transfer the veal to a platter and keep it warm, covered. Add to the skillet the wine, the lemon, and the capers and simmer the mixture for 1 minute. Swirl in the butter and the parsley and pour the sauce over the veal.
