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.
