Preparation

1. Marinate the Veal

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. Prepare the Veal Cutlets

Place the veal cutlets in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

3. Heat the Pan

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and let it heat until shimmering.

4. Cook the Veal

Remove the veal cutlets from the marinade and shake off excess marinade. Place the cutlets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Serving

5. Plate the Dish

Arrange the cooked veal paillard on a serving platter. Top with arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan cheese.

6. Serve

Serve immediately while warm, optionally drizzled with extra olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
