Veal Piccata

Sautéed Broccolini

Method

Veal Piccata

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.

  2. 2

    Cook the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Cook the veal for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Return the veal to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining butter and parsley before serving.

Parmesan Risotto

  1. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened.

  2. 6

    Toast the Rice

    Add arborio rice to the pan, stirring for about 2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

  3. 7

    Add Liquid Gradually

    Pour in the white wine, stirring until absorbed. Then add chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed before adding more.

  4. 8

    Finish with Cheese

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

Sautéed Broccolini

  1. 9

    Sauté Broccolini

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.

  2. 10

    Cook the Broccolini

    Add broccolini, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
