veal piccata

Caper-lemon calf dish

Veal piccata is a dish of thin-pounded veal cutlets sautéed and served in a sauce of lemon, butter, capers, and white wine.

The preparation emphasizes brightness and acidity.

Piccata refers to the cooking method, not the meat—chicken piccata follows the same technique: The veal piccata was perfectly tender with a sharp, buttery sauce.
