Steps:
- Place veal between 2 sheets of wax paper; flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. (My veal cutlets are already thin enough). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour.
- Dip veal in the beaten egg (1 if large, 2 if small eggs). Dredge again in the flour.
- Brown the veal in 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat (medium for me since my stove cooks hot!), 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove veal, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Set aside and keep warm.
- Add the whipping cream and the next 4 ingredients to the skillet. Stir well. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Return the veal to the skillet; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Place veal on a serving platter. Cover with the sauce, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal cutlets. Look for veal that is pale pink in color and has a fine grain. Avoid veal that is dark red or has a coarse grain, as this indicates that the animal was older and the meat will be tougher.
- Pound the veal cutlets thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a light touch when dredging the veal cutlets in flour. Too much flour will make the coating heavy and greasy.
- Use clarified butter or a high-quality olive oil for frying the veal cutlets. This will help prevent the butter or oil from burning.
- Cook the veal cutlets over medium-high heat. This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the veal cutlets. This will cause the temperature of the oil to drop and the veal cutlets will not brown properly.
- Serve the veal cutlets immediately with your favorite sides. Veal francese is a classic Italian dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
Conclusion:
Veal francese is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make veal francese at home that is just as good as the veal francese you would find in a restaurant.
