Provided by 2 sisters recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (16-ounces) thinly sliced veal cutlets (about 7 to 8 slices of veal)
1/3 cup (44 grams) all-purpose unbleached flour
2 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. butter - divided
1/2 cup ( 117.6 grams) white wine
1 Tbsp. capers
2 lemons- juiced
salt and pepper to taste
optional: 1/4 cup (58.8 grams) clear chicken broth
lemon slices, as a garnish

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 WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND LEMON



Veal With Tomatoes, Olives and Lemon image

This Roman dish is simple to prepare and takes little time, perfect for a spring dinner party or a weeknight dinner for a family. Make sure the veal is pounded thin, and cook each side until just brown. Serve it warm, with a salad and a good crusty baguette. (The New York Times)

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Extra virgin olive oil as needed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups chopped tomatoes (canned are fine; drain them first)
Salt and pepper
1 cup mixed good olives
8 to 12 thin slices veal, preferably from the leg, pounded slightly until less than 1/4-inch thick
Flour for dredging
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
  • Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
  • Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH OLIVES, CAPERS, AND SAGE



Grilled Veal Chops With Olives, Capers, and Sage image

I found this on the internet and Russell cooked it tonight for a special dinner for the two of us. Veal chops are almost my favourite meat, and I have beautiful sage in the garden right now. I have to admit we didn't do the bit about frying the sage leaves for garnish, but it was still wonderful over creamy mashed potatoes.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 veal rib chops (each about 12 ounces)
3 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
3 tablespoons chilled butter, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
8 large caper berries, halved, or 2 tablespoons drained regular capers
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup halved pitted Kalamata olives
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Sprinkle veal chops and tomatoes with salt and pepper. Place chops on rimmed baking sheet. Scatter tomatoes around chops. Broil chops and tomatoes until chops are medium-rare and tomatoes are slightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until soft but not brown, about 1 minute. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in caper berries, lemon juice, olives, and oregano; stir to heat through. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place 1 chop on each of 4 plates. Divide tomatoes among plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful olives, and juicy lemons.
  • Brown the veal in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more garlic, oregano, or red pepper flakes if you like a little more heat.
  • Serve the veal with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
  • Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the veal from sticking.
  • You can also use other cuts of meat, such as chicken or pork, in this recipe.
  • If you don't have time to brown the veal in batches, you can also cook it all at once in a large pot or Dutch oven. Just be sure to stir it frequently to prevent it from sticking.
  • This dish can be served immediately or reheated later. It's also a great option for freezing.
