Veal Cutlets

Method

Preparation of Veal Cutlets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Season the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Dredge in Flour

    Spread the all-purpose flour on a plate. Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.

  4. 4

    Coat the Cutlets

    Dip the floured veal cutlets into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Cooking the Veal

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil and Butter

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

  2. 6

    Cook the Cutlets

    Add the egg-coated veal cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cutlets and set aside on a plate.

Making the Sauce

  1. 7

    Deglaze with Wine

    In the same skillet, pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 8

    Add the Chicken Stock

    Stir in the chicken stock, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced.

  3. 9

    Finish the Sauce

    Add chopped fresh parsley to the sauce, then return the veal cutlets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the cutlets and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the veal cutlets to serving plates and drizzle with the lemon-wine sauce. Serve immediately.
