Veal Piccata

Veal is a dish often reserved for an Italian restaurant, but it does not have to be. To make veal at home all you need are veal scaloppines, which are thin slices of veal. There are many ways to use this cut of veal and one of my favorites is with a piccata sauce.  To make the the dish I began by dredging the veal in seasoned flour. Next it was browned in olive oil. When the meat was a golden color, I removed it and began the sauce. The sauce is deceptively simple.
I sauteed the garlic in the pan dripping and then added white wine and let it reduce. Next came the the lemon juice,  butter, parsley, and capers. When this has reduced I added the veal back into the pan and two minutes later dinner was finished. The veal was served over pasta, which was made at the same time as the veal, and warm Italian bread. The meal was fantastic.
