VEAL SCALLOPINI IN A SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE



Veal Scallopini in a Sweet Red Pepper Sauce image

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.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds veal cutlets
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable oil for frying, or as needed - divided
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Pound veal cutlets a few times with a meat mallet to tenderize, if desired. Beat egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or enough to cover the bottom of a skillet, over medium heat. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture and then in crumb mixture to coat. Fry the cutlets in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain cutlets on paper towels.
  • Heat 2 more tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet; cook and stir red bell peppers and onion in the hot oil until soft, about 8 minutes. Pour stewed tomatoes into vegetables and stir in water and sugar, dissolving sugar into the sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Place veal cutlets into the sauce, cover, and simmer until veal is very tender, about 30 more minutes.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC AND TOMATOES



Sea Scallops With Garlic and Tomatoes image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds fresh sea scallops, cut in half if large
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup flour for dredging
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 cups diced fresh, ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves or parsley

Steps:

  • Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
  • Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.

  • Roast the garlic ahead of time: Roasting the garlic beforehand adds a mellow, nutty flavor to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for a while to let the flavors blend and develop.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings, such as salt, pepper, or herbs, as needed.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an aromatic touch.
