Veal Scallopini is a classic Italian-inspired dish featuring tender veal cutlets cooked in a buttery lemon and white wine sauce. Quick to prepare yet elegant enough for entertaining, this flavorful meal pairs beautifully with pasta, vegetables, or crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound veal cutlets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the veal cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently until thin.
  2. Season the veal with salt and black pepper.
  3. Lightly dredge the cutlets in flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Cook the veal cutlets for about 2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  8. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced.
  9. Stir in lemon juice and the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  10. Return the veal to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the cutlets for about 1 minute.
  11. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices before serving.

Notes

  • Use chicken cutlets as a substitute if veal is unavailable.
  • Add mushrooms for extra depth and texture.
  • For a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream.
  • Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of broth to keep the veal tender.
