Description
This Mediterranean main features Boneless veal cutlets. The flavors come together beautifully. Great for weeknight dinners or when you want something satisfying for the whole family. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
Flour seasoned with Salt and lemon pepper Dry white wine Chicken broth Olive oil or clarified Butter for frying Fresh lemon juice Pepper & oregano for taste
-
Heat oil or butter in a large frying pan until it develops a fragrance.
-
Meanwhile, pound the cutlets lightly (do not break the meat), and dip in the seasoned flour.
-
Pop the cutlets into the pan (in batches if necessary, do not overcrowd the pan), and brown on both sides.
-
Remove from the pan and keep warm.
-
Pour off the excess fat, leaving just a thin film, and the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
-
Add a healthy glug of wine, and
-
stir wildly until the browned bits come off the bottom and begin to
-
dissolve .
-
Add chicken broth, and continue cooking, stirring, until reduced by half (you only want a couple of tablespoons of sauce per serving).
-
Add the juice of a fresh lemon, salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
-
Pour the sauce over the cutlets, and serve.
-
We like this with pasta dressed with a little butter or olive oil and Parmesan cheese, and a steamed green vegetable.
-
Sorry there are no quantities here -- I just
-
stuff in the general direction of the saute pan and keep cooking until it looks right.
-
If you really want to get fancy,
-
cut a lemon into thin slices and use the slices to
-
garnish the meat.
-
A sprinkling of parsley wouldn't hurt anything, either
