Best 9 Baked Veal Scallopini Recipes

VEAL PICCATA WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Place the veal in one tray and flour in the other.
• In a large non-stick skillet, and on medium heat, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until butter is melted. Toss in a few capers into the butter and oil mixture.
• Dredging Veal Cutlets: Begin by taking each piece of veal, one at a time, and placing it into the flour to coat both sides with flour. Shake off excess flour, and place it into the heated skillet with oil, butter, and capers.
• Saute the veal until golden brown around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. These will cook up quickly, so you may want to lower the heat a little while you are sauteing them in order not to overcook them.
• Then transfer the sauteed veal into a nearby dish. Cover them with a sheet of foil wrap to keep them warm.
• Continue with the rest of the veal until all of them are sauteed and done.
• NEXT, Deglaze the pan. Pour in the white wine and simmer on low heat while you stir the remaining bits on the bottom of the pan.
• RETURN all the veal back into the skillet. Add in the lemon juice, and remaining butter and stir until it's heated through. Optional: pour in the chicken broth for more flavor and additional sauce. Toss in a few more capers on top. (And, here is where you can add more butter and lemon juice to your preference).
• Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Transfer the veal to a serving platter and pour the remaining warm lemon-buttery sauce over the veal, and toss a few more capers over them.
• Garnish with some lemon slices on the side and serve immediately.

VEAL PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Italian immigrants brought this dish to America, and since then veal parmigiana has become a classic New York dish, and rightly so. I love it when it's layered up like this, with the tomato sauce and cheese, then baked in the oven to gratinate. Feel free to swap veal for pork leg or even chicken that's been battered out. If you want to spike this with a bit of extra flavour you could also add a few capers or olives to the tomato sauce.
• Preheat your oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Pick the leaves off the sprigs of basil and put them into a small bowl of water to keep them fresh. Finely chop the tender stalks. Put a pan on a medium heat and add a splash of olive oil, the chopped basil stalks, garlic and anchovies and cook for a few minutes. Prick the chilli a few times and add it to the pan. Allow everything to sizzle for a minute or so, then pour in the tinned tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
• Meanwhile, prepare your escalopes. Mix the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the thyme leaves and Parmesan. Finely grate your lemon zest into the breadcrumbs, mix again, then lay out three plates in front of you. Put the flour on one and season it with salt and pepper, pour the eggs on to the next plate and put the herby breadcrumbs on the third. Dip the escalopes, one at a time, into the flour until well coated. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg. Let the extra egg drip off, then lay the escalope in the breadcrumb mixture. Sprinkle a handful of crumbs over the top and press them down. Make a real point of getting breadcrumbs on to every part of the escalope.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a good splash of olive oil. Let it heat up a bit, then add your escalopes. If your pan isn't big enough, you may have to cook them in batches, adding a little extra oil if needed. Cook for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. Get yourself a snug-fitting, appropriately sized baking dish (approx. 30 x 20cm) and spread the tomato sauce in the dish. Lay your escalopes on top, side by side. Tear the buffalo mozzarella into pieces and dot these over the dish with a few basil leaves.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden, bubbling and deliciously cooked. Sprinkle the rest of the basil leaves over. Perfect with a crunchy zingy salad, but in America they'd also serve it with things like spaghetti, rice or mashed potatoes, polenta or crusty bread.

• Dredge the cutlet on both sides in the flour to coat it thoroughly; shake off any excess.
• Dip it in the egg so it is completely covered and lift it out so the excess egg can drip off.
• Lay the cutlet in the breadcrumbs, covering it on both sides, gently pressing the crumbs onto the surface of the cutlet.
• Set the cutlet on a baking sheet or platter and repeat with the remaining cutlets, placing in one layer without touching.
• Heat a shallow layer of oil in a wide, high-sided frying pan or similar vessel over medium-high heat. Add as many cutlets as fit in a single layer. If the cutlets get too dark, lower the heat as needed.

Dip in the egg mixture and then coat with the bread crumb mixture, patting with your fingers to make the crumbs adhere.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the veal and saute until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, turn the cutlets and cook, 2 to 3 minutes more, adding a little more oil if the pan looks dry. Remove veal scallops to a plate and blot with paper towels.
• Lightly oil a flameproof baking pan or shallow baking dish. Spoon into the pan 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Arrange the veal scallops over the sauce, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Cover with the remaining tomato sauce. Top with the mozzarella slices and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 20 to 30 minutes. If you wish to brown the top, remove the foil and run the dish briefly under a broiler.
