Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add veal cutlets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the cutlets and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter. Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Stir well, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the veal cutlets to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
