Veal scallopini is a lightning-fast way to get an impressive, protein-packed dinner on the table. One of our favorite Italian recipes<\/a>, this dish features thin cuts of veal\u2014the word “scallopini” refers to a thin “scallop” of meat, also known as “escalope” in French cooking\u2014lightly floured and cooked within minutes in a hot pan. It’s usually served with a buttery pan sauce, sometimes with mushrooms, as in our recipe, or with capers or tomatoes. It’s dynamite with a side of noodles, rice or potatoes.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of German wiener schnitzel<\/a>, veal piccata or even American chicken-fried steak<\/a>, this is you’re kind of recipe. Schnitzel, also made from veal cutlets, uses breadcrumbs and flour in the coating. Veal piccata, another close cousin, comes swathed in a lemon-butter sauce. Any of these can also be made with thin cuts of pork or chicken instead of veal.<\/p>\n

When looking to buy veal, you’re more apt to find cutlets in butcher shops or specialty markets. Look for meat that’s pale pink in color with a smooth texture. Because veal cutlets cook up fast but stay tender and juicy, veal scallopini is an ideal dish to prepare on the fly for guests or any weeknight meal.<\/p>\n
