Ingredients
- 4 veal cutlets (about 4 oz each)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Veal: Season the veal cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in almond flour, shaking off any excess.
- Sauté the Cutlets: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the veal cutlets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring to a simmer and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Finish the Dish: Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter to the sauce until melted and glossy. Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
- Serve: Plate the veal piccata garnished with chopped parsley, and serve with your choice of zucchini noodles or cauliflower mash for a complete meal.
