Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 0.25 cups Chicken or veal stock
- 1 piece Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pound each veal cutlet to about 1/4-inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the veal cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the floured veal cutlets in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a plate tented with foil.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed. Arrange a slice of prosciutto and 2 sage leaves on top of each veal cutlet. Return the cutlets to the skillet.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine while scraping up any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the stock to the skillet and swirl to combine. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
Finish the sauce by swirling in the remaining tablespoon of butter and squeezing the juice of half a lemon over the top.
Plate the veal scaloppine, spoon the sauce over the cutlets, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a side of pasta.
