Veal Piccata

Elegant, easy and delicious.

1/2 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 pound veal scallops,* very thinly sliced
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
black pepper

In a nonstick skillet, heat oil.  Add veal and saute 5-6 minutes.  Turn.  Add lemon juice.  Cook 2-3 minutes, or to desired doneness.  Remove veal to heated plates.  Add wine to the skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring constantly.  Pour wine over veal.  Top each scallop with a slice of lemon.  Sprinkle with black pepper.

*  The fat content of veal differs markedly with the cut.  We recommend veal scallops cut from the rump roast, which is about 13% fat.  By comparison, veal cutlets are about 48% fat and rib roast is about 58% fat.
