Veal Scaloppine with Lemon
Serves 4

1 tablespoon oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 pound veal scaloppine, flattened (you can ask your butcher to do this for you)
Flour spread on a plate
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped very fine

Scaloppine is an Italian term describing a thin scallop of meat (most often veal). They are also known as veal cutlets.

Dredge the veal in the flour. Salt and pepper the mixture. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with the olive oil on medium-high heat and fry the veal for 30 seconds on each side until browned. Remove the veal from the pan and set aside. Turn the heat down to medium, add the lemon juice to the pan and scrape the remaining residue from the bottom. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Add any juice that may have collected on the plate holding the veal and the parsley. Return the meat to the pan just long enough to coat the veal with the lemon sauce.

Serving Suggestions and Tips: Veal scaloppine is prepared in many variations and allows you to experiment. Try adding capers to the sauce for more flavor, or sautéing 1/2 inch pieces of asparagus.
