VEAL PICCATA WITH ANGEL HAIR AND PARMIGIANA-REGGIANO



Veal Piccata with Angel Hair and Parmigiana-Reggiano image

Piccata is a classic Milanese veal preparation, where the veal is quickly sauteed and served with a pan sauce made of stock, lemon juice, capers, and parsley. We've added wine to our sauce, which gives the dish extra zest. If you can't find veal in your area, use thinly pounded boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead. For this preparation, thin veal cutlets are pounded to 1/4-inch thickness for a quick cooking time that preserves the meat's natural tenderness and flavor.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon chopped parsley leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) veal medallions, pounded 1/4-inch thick
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock, or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 teaspoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring to separate the strands of pasta, until just al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the basil, and the cheese and toss to coat. Cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the black pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • Lightly season both sides of each medallion with 1/8 teaspoon of the remaining salt and a pinch of the remaining pepper. One at a time, dredge the medallions in the seasoned flour, shaking to remove any excess.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the medallions in batches and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • Add the wine to the juices remaining in the pan and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan, and cook until the wine is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, capers, and garlic and return to a boil, stirring, until the mixture is thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. When the butter is melted, return all of the veal medallions to the pan and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • To serve, divide the pasta among 4 large plates and arrange 2 veal medallions on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the veal and garnish each serving with 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining parsley. Serve immediately.

VEAL SWEETBREADS PICCATA WITH ARTICHOKES



Veal Sweetbreads Piccata with Artichokes image

Categories     Sauce     Veal     Artichoke     Kosher     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 28

for preparing the sweetbreads
2 pounds veal sweetbreads
2 1/2 cups whole milk, plus more as needed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 large or 1 small yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 fennel bulb, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 celery rib, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
for finishing and serving the sweetbreads
12 Braised Artichokes (page 70)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grapeseed oil or another neutral-flavored oil, such as canola
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup dry white wine
20 whole caperberries
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup Basic Chicken Stock (page 27)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh Italian parsley leaves
Sautéed Cavolo Nero (page 260)
Zested strips of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • To prepare the sweetbreads, place them in a nonreactive baking dish or large bowl and pour the milk over them, adding more if necessary to cover. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place the sweetbreads in the refrigerator to soak overnight. Drain the sweetbreads and discard the milk. Rinse the sweetbreads under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion, fennel, and celery, and season with salt and sauté, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the wine, vinegar, and peppercorns, and bring the liquid to a boil and boil until it reduces by half, about 15 minutes. Add the sweetbreads and add enough water to just cover. Place a large paper coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth on the surface to keep the sweetbreads submerged and heat until you see the first few bubbles start to rise up from the surface. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into one of the sweetbreads registers 120°F to 125°F, removing the smaller sweetbreads from the liquid to the colander as they become done, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water and place a colander in the sink. Place a wire cooling rack inside a baking sheet. Plunge the sweetbreads in the ice water for 1 minute to cool completely. Lift the sweetbreads out of the ice water, pat dry with paper towels, and place them on the wire rack. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place a heavy baking dish on top of the sweetbreads and a bag of beans or a can of tomatoes on the dish to weigh it down. Place the weighted sweetbreads in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  • To finish and serve the sweetbreads, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cut the artichokes in half crosswise at the stem. Thinly slice the stems lengthwise and place them in a bowl. Break apart the artichoke leaves to separate them and drop them into the bowl.
  • Remove the weights and the plastic wrap from the sweetbreads and discard the plastic. Use a small, sharp knife to cut away and discard any knotty pieces or silver skin from the sweetbreads. Cut the sweetbreads into 2- to 3-inch segments. Pat the sweetbreads dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the grapeseed oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Sear the sweetbreads in the oil until they are deep brown and crisp all over, about 4 minutes, turning them to cook all sides. Remove the sweetbreads to a baking sheet or a large plate and place them in the oven to heat through, about 3 minutes, while you make the sauce. Wipe the pan out with paper towels and add the olive oil and garlic. Season the garlic with salt and sauté over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from browning, until it softens slightly and becomes fragrant. Add the wine, caperberries, red pepper flakes, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has burned off, the garlic is golden brown, and the sugar left in the pan begins to caramelize around the sides, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Stir in the artichokes and butter, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half and the sauce thickens slightly, about 12 minutes. Turn off the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice into the pan, add the parsley, and stir to incorporate into the sauce.
  • Remove the sweetbreads from the oven. Use a slotted spoon to strain the artichoke leaves out of the liquid and spread them out in a circle about 6 inches diameter in the center of four plates, dividing them evenly. From here, building each serving in two layers, place a few leaves of cavolo nero on top of each serving of artichoke leaves. Nestle half of the sweetbreads on top of the cavolo, dividing them evenly, drizzle with half of the sauce, dividing the sauce evenly and leaving the caperberries in the pan. Build the second layer, starting with a few of the cavolo leaves, the remaining sweetbreads, and topped with a drizzle of the sauce, using all of the ingredients in the second layer. Nestle the caperberries and zested strips of lemon around and on top of the sweetbreads, and serve.

CHICKEN PICCATA WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS



Chicken Piccata with Artichoke Hearts image

After eating chicken piccata in many restaurants and finding many that were 'greasy,' I came up with this recipe through much trial and error. It has wonderful flavor and is even better the next day! I like to serve it over angel hair pasta or linguine.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2 inch thick and cut into thirds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, minced
½ cup white wine
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (13.75 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped, liquid reserved
¼ cup capers, with liquid
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on a plate. One by one, dredge the chicken pieces lightly in the prepared flour mixture.

  • Soak the Veal Sweetbreads: Soaking the veal sweetbreads in cold water for at least 30 minutes will help to remove any impurities and improve their texture.
  • Cook the Veal Sweetbreads Properly: Veal sweetbreads can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are pan-frying, sautéing, and grilling. Make sure to cook them until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine used in this recipe should be a dry wine with a crisp, clean flavor. Some good options include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay.
  • Don't Overcook the Artichokes: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve Immediately: Veal sweetbreads piccata with artichokes is best served immediately after it is cooked. The veal sweetbreads will be at their most tender and the sauce will be at its most flavorful.
