VEAL SCALLOPS IN A CREAMY PAPRIKA ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut each scallop in half; makes for a nicer presentation in my opinion and facilitates cooking.
• Heat 2 TBS of the oil in a large (preferably non-stick) frying pan.
• Add the paprika and mix completely into the oil.
• Add the onions, and cook them over moderate heat until they are completely softened.
• While the onions are cooking, salt and pepper the veal scallops.
• Dredge them in the flour making sure to cover all surfaces and sides.
• When the onions have softened, move them to the edge of the frying pan.
• Add the final TBS oil to the pan, and when this is hot, lay your veal scallops in the center of the pan.
• Brown well, about three minutes per side.
• Now move the scallops to the outer edge of the pan and bring the onions back to the center.
• Add the sour cream and mix well with onions until it is completely incorporated; once this is achieved, nestle the scallops in the sauce, turning them over once to allow each side a slight covering of sauce.
• Cover the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and veal is tender.
• Remove veal to serving dishes, give the onions and sauce one more good stir and serve over the top of the veal.

VEAL SCALLOPS IN MUSTARD-CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a good sized mixing bowl, beat together the egg, sherry, pepper and soda. Add the veal, turning to coat well, leave for as long as desired, but not so long that it needs to chill, do keep it at room temperature.
• Measure the amount of cornstarch when ready to proceed and toss it with the veal slices, coat them as well as one can, you may, if the veal will not take on the starch easily, add a few teaspoons of water, the veal breading gets runny easily, and it should be rather stiff, it does not matter, if after a minute or two of stirring, that the veal has some places that look a little powdery, the heat of the pan will diminish any unevenness in the coating there.
• Using a 12-inch heavy sauté pan, have a plate standing nearby, melt half of the butter with all of the vegetable oil, add the scallions, season with a little salt, and cook over medium, or medium low heat, stirring often, until they are softened, but not browned.
• Slide the scallions a bit around the pan and slip in as many veal slices as will fit easily, without overlapping.
• Cook for only about 1 minute on each side, over a moderate, or less heat, when working in a pan that is not non-stick (which are the only ones I use), some care may need to be taken in flipping the veal. Transfer them to a plate, cover if desired.
• Repeat until all the veal has been used up, keeping the scallions floating in the fat, free, for the most part, of the underside of the veal. Do not be worried if the scallion turns gold, do not be dismayed if parts of the starch coating stick a little in the pan, scrape them up, allowing them to turn gold in the drippings, they will be all the better.
• When half of the veal has been used, add the remaining butter, melt and proceed. Once the veal has been transferred to the plate, it should bleed.
• Add the wine, stir often, reduce it well, it may form a paste, but reduce it in any case.
• Stir in the mustard and cream, reduce by half. Taste and correct for salt and pepper, remembering the veal.
• Slip it back into the pan, tilting and turning to coat well, warm through, but briefly, certainly less than two minutes.
• Serve at once in warm plates.

BEST VEAL SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Flatten cutlets to 1/8-in. thickness. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add veal; turn to coat. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium heat. Add veal; cook until juices run clear, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and keep warm., Add mushrooms to skillet; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Spoon over veal. Stir broth into skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Add parsley and remaining butter; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes longer. Pour over veal and mushrooms.

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, stir together flour and salt and dredge veal, one piece at a time, shaking off excess.
• In a large, non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately-high heat until it is hot but not smoking, and saute veal for 1 minute or until pale golden.
• Turn veal and saute 30 seconds more, or until pale golden and just springy to touch.
• Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered.
• Add wine, lemon and capers to the skillet and simmer for 1 minute.
• Swirl in butter and parsley and pour the sauce over the veal.

VEAL SCALOPPINE IN MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare sauce, heat 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in large skillet on 'medium' setting.
• Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; sweat until vegetables are tender.
• Add tomato paste, water, thyme, basil, sugar and crushed bay leaves; stir until tomato paste is incorporated and mixture is smooth.
• (Note: When using fresh herbs instead of dried, I approximately triple the amount of basil and double the thyme -- but you can tell better by taste than exact measurements. Replacing 1/2 cup of the water with wine is also an excellent option. And I *always* throw in the hot pepper flakes!).
• Taste mixture, adding salt and pepper as needed. (For inexperienced cooks, I would suggest starting with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and going -- slowly -- from there until it tastes just right.).
• Continue cooking over medium heat, allowing mixture to slowly reach a boil; at that point, reduce heat several notches and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, season veal scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Measure flour and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
• (Note: A scant measure of flour will be enough. Breadcrumbs can be fresh or commercial. Recipe calls for 'plain', but the Italian-seasoned kind work fine also.).
• Break egg into third bowl, beating well with a whisk.
• In a second skillet or large pot, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter on 'medium' setting.
• Dredge scallopini in flour, coating lightly but thoroughly on both sides; dip in beaten egg to coat; cover all over with breadcrumbs.
• Brown thoroughly in hot oil (depending on how brown you want them, it will take about 2-4 minutes per side); drain on paper towels.
• Add browned scallopini to marinara sauce, turning to coat if necessary; continue simmering slowly until meat is thoroughly done and very tender (10-15 minutes).
