Veal Scaloppine With Tomatoes And Olives
Description
This elegant yet simple Veal Scaloppine dish features tender cutlets lightly dredged and pan-seared until golden.

The combination of rich veal, fresh herbs, and tangy acidity creates a balanced flavor profile that is both comforting and sophisticated. It cooks in under twenty minutes, making it an ideal weeknight dinner or a light lunch. Serve over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.Ingredients
