Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Season the veal scallopine with salt and black pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal scallopine in batches and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Capers and Lemon

    Add the capers and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the veal to the skillet and coat it with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute. Stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
