Ingredients
- 1 lb veal cutlets, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the veal cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Place the flour on a plate and dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy, but not browned.
- Add the veal cutlets to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the fresh sage leaves to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes or until the veal is cooked through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the sauce and swirl the skillet until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Transfer the veal to a serving platter, pour the sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
