Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

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

  2. 2

    Dredge the Veal

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

  4. 4

    Cook the Veal

    Add the dredged veal cutlets to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and capers, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Cook for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

  6. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and whisk until melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Return the veal cutlets to the skillet to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately.
