VEAL ESCALOPES (IN LEMON SAUCE)

Steps:

• Pound meat: Place the veal escalopes between two pieces of cling film on a cutting board. Pound them carefully to make them thinner, about 0.2 inch/ 5 mm. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a non-metallic container.
• Marinade: Wash and zest the organic lemon. Juice it as well. Whisk 4 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice in a small bowl, stir in the lemon zest. Pour over the scallops. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour (Notes 2,3).
• Cook: Heat a large cast-iron pan or nonstick pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Remove the meat from the marinade (reserve marinade), shake them to remove the excess. Fry them for 2 minutes per side. If the pan is not large enough, fry the meat in 2 batches (Note 4). Remove from the pan and keep warm.
• Lemon sauce: Pour the reserved marinade back into the pan. Add the juice of the second lemon. Let bubble well for 1 minute. Gradually, stir in the cubed ice-cold butter.
• Finish: Adjust the taste with salt and pepper. Return the escalopes to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a dash of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

VEAL ESCALOPES WRAPPED WITH PROSCIUTTO, SAGE & LEMON (SALTIMBOCCA)

Steps:

• Bash out the escalopes until they are about 5mm thick. Place a sage leaf on each one, wrap with the prosciutto, then press another sage leaf on top and flatten out with your hand. Dust lightly with the seasoned flour.
• Heat the oil and the butter in a large frying pan until foaming, and fry the veal for 4-5 mins on each side until the prosciutto is crisp, then remove from the pan. Add the Marsala wine to the pan and sizzle to make a sauce, scraping any tasty bits off the bottom. Add the lemon juice to taste. Put the veal back in the pan to heat through, then serve with a green salad and some fried potatoes or crusty bread.
