Photo: Veal and Creamed Spinach Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 veal scallopini
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
- 1 sleeve butter crackers, crushed (Ritz crackers recommended)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh spinach, trimmed at stems, soaked, and cleaned thoroughly
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, optional
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Between sheets of waxed paper, pound veal into 1/4-inch thick slices. Beat egg with House Seasoning. Dip veal in egg, then dip into Ritz cracker crumbs. Saute in heated oil for about 2 minutes on each side over medium heat. Pour wine into pan and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove veal. Add chopped onion and fresh spinach to pan and saute until spinach is done, 2 to 3 minutes (don't overcook). Add cream, if using, and continue to saute for 1 more minute or until hot. Season with salt and pepper. Pour onto platter. Place veal on top of spinach. Garnish as you wish and serve from the platter at the table. If you're looking to cut back on calories, don't add the cream.
House Seasoning:
- 1 cup salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

If I was able to do a half star I would. This was WAY to salty. Absolutely disgusting!

Another AWESOME recipe, Ms. Deen! So easy, so delicious. I did add 1/2 c. heavy cream and a few tablespoons of cream cheese to the spinach. Next time I would add another tbsp. or 2 of olive oil after I remove the veal and let the onions sautee for a few extra minutes. And Paula's House Seasoning? I made it from the recipe. I've been cooking for over 30 years, and I just couldn't believe I could get that much flavor out of those three seasonings in that exact proportion. Kudos, Paula!

We loved the veal prep, but the spinach was funky. From out point of view, the taste was okay but it seemed watery and no creamy at all. We'll skip the spinach in the future.
