Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 pound Veal scaloppine, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, minced
  • 1/2 Lemon, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • To taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  1. 1
    Spread the flour on a shallow plate. Pat the veal scaloppine dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    Dredge both sides of the veal slices in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. 3
    Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foaming.
  4. 4
    Add the veal slices to the skillet in a single layer (working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding). Cook for about 1 minute per side, or until lightly browned and just cooked through.
  5. 5
    Remove the veal immediately to a warm serving dish and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  6. 6
    Pour out the excess oil and butter from the skillet, leaving the browned bits (fond) in the pan.
  7. 7
    Reduce heat to low. Add the lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
  8. 8
    Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the drained capers, and 1 tablespoon of the minced parsley.
  9. 9
    Return the veal slices to the skillet, turning them to coat evenly in the sauce. Warm briefly over low heat for about 30 seconds.
  10. 10
    Transfer the veal and sauce back to the serving platter. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
