veal scallopini
Thin Italian cutlets
Veal scallopini is a dish of thin slices of veal, pounded flat, lightly floured, and quickly sautéed, typically finished with a sauce of lemon, wine, or capers.
The Italian-American preparation emphasizes tender, delicate meat that cooks in minutes: We ordered the veal scallopini with a lemon butter sauce.
Also spelled scallopine or piccata when made with lemon and capers.
