Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the veal cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the all-purpose flour on a plate. Lightly dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering lightly with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the orange juice, orange zest, chicken stock, and honey. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until it reduces slightly and thickens to a light syrupy consistency.
Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning the orange sauce over them to coat, and let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the veal to serving plates, pouring any remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve immediately.
