Steps:
- Place the veal in one tray and flour in the other.
- In a large non-stick skillet, and on medium heat, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until butter is melted. Toss in a few capers into the butter and oil mixture.
- Dredging Veal Cutlets: Begin by taking each piece of veal, one at a time, and placing it into the flour to coat both sides with flour. Shake off excess flour, and place it into the heated skillet with oil, butter, and capers.
- Saute the veal until golden brown around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. These will cook up quickly, so you may want to lower the heat a little while you are sauteing them in order not to overcook them.
- Then transfer the sauteed veal into a nearby dish. Cover them with a sheet of foil wrap to keep them warm.
- Continue with the rest of the veal until all of them are sauteed and done.
- NEXT, Deglaze the pan. Pour in the white wine and simmer on low heat while you stir the remaining bits on the bottom of the pan.
- RETURN all the veal back into the skillet. Add in the lemon juice, and remaining butter and stir until it's heated through. Optional: pour in the chicken broth for more flavor and additional sauce. Toss in a few more capers on top. (And, here is where you can add more butter and lemon juice to your preference).
- Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Transfer the veal to a serving platter and pour the remaining warm lemon-buttery sauce over the veal, and toss a few more capers over them.
- Garnish with some lemon slices on the side and serve immediately.

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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use the best veal, lemons, and capers you can find.
- Don't overcook the veal: Veal is a delicate meat that can easily become tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side for thin cutlets.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the dish. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, which can be bitter and harsh.
- Don't skimp on the capers: Capers add a salty, briny flavor that complements the veal and lemon. Use a generous amount, about 1/4 cup.
- Serve immediately: Veal with lemon and capers is best served immediately after it's cooked. The veal will be most tender and juicy, and the sauce will be at its peak flavor.
Conclusion:
Veal with lemon and capers is a classic dish that is both elegant and delicious. It's perfect for a special occasion dinner or a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
