Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 2 whole Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 whole Shallot
Instructions
Pat the veal cutlets dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the veal cutlets. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Finely mince the shallot and garlic, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the sautéed shallot and garlic, lemon juice, heavy cream, fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the veal to the skillet and spoon some of the avocado sauce over each cutlet. Cover the skillet and heat through for 3-4 minutes over low heat.
Serve the veal immediately, drizzling a bit more of the avocado sauce on each plate. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
