Veal Scallops Recipes

VEAL ESCALOPES (IN LEMON SAUCE)

Steps:

• Pound meat: Place the veal escalopes between two pieces of cling film on a cutting board. Pound them carefully to make them thinner, about 0.2 inch/ 5 mm. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a non-metallic container.
• Marinade: Wash and zest the organic lemon. Juice it as well. Whisk 4 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice in a small bowl, stir in the lemon zest. Pour over the scallops. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour (Notes 2,3).
• Cook: Heat a large cast-iron pan or nonstick pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Remove the meat from the marinade (reserve marinade), shake them to remove the excess. Fry them for 2 minutes per side. If the pan is not large enough, fry the meat in 2 batches (Note 4). Remove from the pan and keep warm.
• Lemon sauce: Pour the reserved marinade back into the pan. Add the juice of the second lemon. Let bubble well for 1 minute. Gradually, stir in the cubed ice-cold butter.
• Finish: Adjust the taste with salt and pepper. Return the escalopes to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a dash of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat the veal dry with paper towels and sprinkle it lightly with the salt.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan (preferably large enough to hold all the veal in a single layer) over medium-high heat.
• Put as much of the veal as fits in a single layer in the pan (it is important you don't crowd the pan) and cook until it has started to brown and releases from the surface of the pan-about 2 minutes.
• Turn the cutlets and cook them until they're cooked through and browned on the second side-about 2 more minutes. Transfer the veal to a plate. Repeat with any remaining veal, as necessary.
• Return the frying pan to the heat. Add the capers to the pan and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
• Add the white wine and use a spatula to help scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Whisk together and cook until the wine is reduced by at least half, about 2 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
• Swirl in the pieces of butter, whisking if you like, to make a sauce. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Return all of the veal to the pan to coat it in the sauce.
• Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Drizzle a bit of the sauce over each serving of arugula before placing the veal on top of the salad. Drizzle any remaining sauce evenly over the veal.
• Serve immediately.
