Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Lightly pound the veal cutlets between plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Veal

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the veal cutlets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and stir in the lemon juice and capers. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Return the veal to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
