Veal scallopini is a classic Italian dish that is relatively easy to make, but it can be tricky to get just right. The key to success is to use high-quality, thin-cut veal cutlets and to cook them quickly over high heat. This will help to ensure that the veal remains tender and juicy, while the outside develops a beautiful golden-brown crust. If you are new to cooking veal, scallopini is a great place to start. It is a relatively forgiving dish, and even if you make a few mistakes, it will still be delicious.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the veal with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.

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.

SCALOPPINE WITH ANY MEAT
You can use any kind of meat to make these dead-simple scaloppine - veal, turkey, chicken, pork, even beef if you can find pieces thin enough. Cook them quickly in butter over high heat, then turn those buttery pan drippings into your sauce, seasoning it with garlic and a squeeze of lemon or lime. This needs no further embellishment. But a handful of capers, sliced olives, chopped fresh herbs or toasted sliced almonds warmed in the butter at the last minute wouldn't do any harm, either.

VEAL SCALLOPINI IN A SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE
This recipe has been in the family for generations. The meat is so tender and with the red pepper sauce, is so flavorful you'll want to make it at least once a week! I love serving this with a spring mix salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. Instead of scallopini, you can use veal cutlets and sometimes beef cutlets. The beef cutlets would take another 10 minutes longer cooking with the sauce.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI
While many have heard of veal scallopini, you can make this Italian dish with most any meat or even vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style -- i.e., a venison demi if using deer. You can 'fake' a demi-glace by reducing an appropriate brown stock and adding a water and flour slurry to thicken. Makes an awesome romantic dinner for two.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
- Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
- Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
- Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

Steps:
- Place the hazelnuts in a small skillet and set it over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the nuts are lightly toasted. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, use your fingertips to squeeze most of their skins off. Transfer the nuts to a food processor or use a knife to coarsely chop them. Set aside.
- Place 3 tablespoons of the butter and the tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and set it over high heat. When hot, dip the scaloppine on both sides in the flour, shake off any excess and slip it into the skillet, adding only as many pieces as will fit loosely in the pan. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes for each side. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat until all the scaloppine is cooked.
- Pour the wine in the skillet and cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hazelnuts and continue to cook until the wine has evaporated. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the scaloppine with salt and pepper and add it to the pan, turning 2 or 3 times, until just warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the balsamic vinegar. Return the scaloppine to the platter and serve immediately.

VEAL SCALOPPINE MARSALA
Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy skillet set over medium heat. Shake the flour onto a rimmed plate. Season the veal all over with the salt, and dredge lightly in the flour, tapping off the excess. Add the veal to the skillet, moving it around so it all fits, and cook until browned and caramelized on the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the veal to a plate.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sage leaves to the skillet. Once the sage is sizzling, add the mushrooms and shallots. Add about 2 tablespoons of the Marsala to get the mushrooms cooking. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have released their liquid and all the liquid has cooked away, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the rest of the Marsala and the stock. Bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until the sauce has reduced by half, then whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pieces.
- Return the veal to the sauce, and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve.
