Veal Scaloppine with Tomatoes—A Timeless Favorite.

Cooks' Note

Choose veal cutlets that are creamy white rather than dark pink; the lighter the meat, the more tender. The texture should be firm and smooth, not mushy.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

Four 5-ounce veal cutlets
1/4 cup stone-ground whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 cup sliced white button mushrooms
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Using a metal mallet or a meat tenderizer, pound the cutlets to a thickness of less than 1/8 inch. Put the flour on a plate and dredge the cutlets in it, shaking off excess flour. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the cutlets, cook for 1 minute a side, and remove to a plate. Add the tomatoes and mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 30 seconds to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Plate the cutlets, spoon the sauce on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
