Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Rinse and pat dry the veal cutlets. Place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

  2. 2

    Mix the Flour Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dredge the Veal

    Coat each veal cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil and Butter

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 5

    Cook the Veal

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

Making the Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté the Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 8

    Add Lemon Juice and Capers

    Stir in the lemon juice and capers, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  4. 9

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
