Vitello Morandi Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Trim the ends of the asparagus and blanch them in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Season the Veal

   Season the veal escalope pieces with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   Cook the Veal

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal escalope pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

4. 4

   Sauté Garlic and Asparagus

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the blanched asparagus and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   Return the veal to the skillet, squeeze lemon juice over the top, and layer the mozzarella cheese on the veal. Cover the skillet for a minute or until the cheese melts. Serve hot.
