Ingredients

• 1 lb Veal scaloppine (thinly sliced veal cutlets)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Capers (drained and rinsed)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 Lemon slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the veal scaloppine between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound each cutlet gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each veal cutlet in the mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until melted and hot.

Step 4

Working in batches, cook the veal cutlets for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the cooked veal to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Cook for about 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 8

Return the cooked veal cutlets to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the sauce. Let them cook in the sauce for 2 minutes to warm through.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the veal and sauce.

Step 10

Transfer the veal scaloppine to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as pasta, mashed potatoes, or sautéed vegetables.
