Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 veal scallops, about 3/4 pound, pounded to a thickness of 1/8-inch
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Directions In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper and stir to combine thoroughly.

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

pasta sauce, of your choice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pasta shells, and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally with a long-handled spoon to prevent the shells from sticking together.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality veal. Look for veal that is a light pink color with fine, even marbling. Avoid veal that is dark red or has large, coarse marbling.
  • Pound the veal cutlets thin. This will help them cook evenly and tenderize them.
  • Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper before dredging them in flour. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a light touch when dredging the veal cutlets in flour. You don't want to coat them too heavily, or they will become tough.
  • Cook the veal cutlets in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to sear them and give them a nice golden brown color.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the veal cutlets will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the veal cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a cutlet. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the veal cutlets from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Serve the veal cutlets with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
