scallopini
Pounded veal slices
Scallopini are thin slices of meat, usually veal, pounded flat and quickly sautéed.
The dish typically involves dredging in flour and cooking in butter or oil with a sauce—often lemon, wine, or mushrooms: veal scallopini, chicken scallopini.
The word comes from Italian, where it means "small scallops" for the shape of the cutlets.
