Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 8 bottom or top round veal scallops, flattened gently with a meat mallet
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 stick butter
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and toss in the garlic cloves. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic until it becomes golden brown and is very aromatic. Remove the garlic and discard. Raise heat to high.
Sprinkle the veal scallops with salt. Just before placing the veal scallops in the pan with the hot oil, dredge them in flour. Working in batches, flour the veal that is going directly in the pan; do not flour ahead. When the veal has browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side, remove to a platter and keep warm in the oven.
When all the veal has been browned, ditch the oil in the pan. Add the wine and capers and reduce by half. Add in the chicken stock, season with salt, and cook until it has slightly thickened. Swirl in the butter. When the butter has melted and is bubbly, add in the lemon juice. Taste to make sure it is delicious, add the parsley, and spoon over the veal.

I've been trying to find a great veal piccata dish, and while I've found several that aren't too shabby, none have blown me away. I just made this tonight, and absolutely loved it. Easy to make and absolutely delicious. I'll be throwing out the other recipes, and just keeping this one. Thank you so much!

I made this using pork loin sliced 1/2 inch thick, then pounded out just a bit. I only used 1and 1/4 lemon, and 2 tbsp. parsley. Also added red pepper flakes and just a drop of agave to add sweetness. Came out amazingly good, and was so easy to make. The sauce can be used with chicken or veal as well. My Husband is a sauce man, and loves tons of flavor, and he really enjoyed this. Was perfect served with peas and quinoa.
