flour.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of
the butter and, working quickly and in batches if necessary, cook the veal until golden brown on both sides,
about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Deglaze the pan with wine and bring to a boil,
scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the wine has reduced by half, add the
chicken stock, chopped garlic, lemon juice and capers and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened
slightly. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, remaining 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped
parsley. When the butter has melted, return the veal scallops to the pan and cook until heated through and the
sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately.
