Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Seasonal Recipes     Fall Recipes     Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds), halved lengthwise
1 pound veal scallopini, pounded thin
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
3 ounces sunflower sprouts (2 cups packed)
2 ounces pea shoots (3 cups packed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash cut side down in baking dish; add 1/4 inch water. Cover with foil, and bake in oven until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Scoop out and discard seeds. Scrape strands from the flesh with a fork. Transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Preheat broiler. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place veal in another bowl, and coat with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Dredge veal in breadcrumb mixture; turn to coat well. Transfer to baking sheet.
  • Rub inside of large wooden salad bowl with garlic. Add lemon juice, salt, and remaining tablespoon oil. Add tomatoes, sprouts, and shoots to bowl; set aside.
  • Place veal about 5 inches under broiler, and cook until golden and browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, rotating pan every minute. Turn over; cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer veal to serving plates.
  • Toss sprout mixture; season with remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Serve on top of veal, with spaghetti squash on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality veal. 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.
  • Tenderize the veal. Pounding the veal with a meat mallet or rolling it out with a rolling pin will help to break down the fibers and make it more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. Marinating the veal in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture.
  • Cook the veal over medium heat. High heat will cause the veal to toughen. Cook the veal over medium heat until it is cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the veal with a flavorful sauce. A simple sauce made with butter, lemon juice, and capers is a classic choice.

Conclusion:

Veal scallopini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can create a tender, flavorful, and juicy veal scallopini that will impress your family and friends.
