• Pat veal scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge veal in flour, shaking off excess, and arrange in one layer on a sheet of wax paper.
• In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté veal in batches without crowding 30 seconds on each side, or until pale golden, transferring with tongs to a platter.
• Add vermouth or wine to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add peperoncini and scallions and boil mixture 1 minute. Add butter and salt and pepper to taste and cook sauce, swirling skillet, until butter is just melted. Return veal to skillet with any juices accumulated on platter and coat with sauce.

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place flour in shallow dish. Sprinkle veal scallops with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Coat veal in flour, shaking off excess. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until mushrooms are brown and tender, about 7 minutes. Add wine; simmer until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Add cream; simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

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.

VINCENZO'S VEAL SCALOPPINE

Steps:

• Place the flour in a shallow pan and season with salt and white pepper. Lightly dust the veal in the seasoned flour. Saute the veal in clarified butter quickly, until just rare. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the shallots, mushrooms, and capers. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 6 minutes. Deglaze the pan with wine. Add the lemon juice and veal stock and simmer until the sauce reduces by half. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over veal. Garnish with melon and parsley.

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet cook the shallot, the garlic, and the sage in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened, add the mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender and all the liquid they give off is evaporated. Add 1/4 cup of the wine, simmer it until it is evaporated, and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Dredge the veal in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. In the skillet, cleaned, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the veal for 1 minute on each side, or until it is golden. Transfer the veal to a platter and keep it warm.
• Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine to the skillet and deglaze the skillet over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up the brown bits, until the wine is reduced to glaze. Add the broth, boil the liquid until it is reduced by half, and stir in the cream, the mushroom mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce until it is thickened slightly, stir in the 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).

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.
• Serve with buttered rice and steamed broccoli and carrots.

VEAL SCALLOPINI IN A SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pound veal cutlets a few times with a meat mallet to tenderize, if desired. Beat egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or enough to cover the bottom of a skillet, over medium heat. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture and then in crumb mixture to coat. Fry the cutlets in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain cutlets on paper towels.
• Heat 2 more tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet; cook and stir red bell peppers and onion in the hot oil until soft, about 8 minutes. Pour stewed tomatoes into vegetables and stir in water and sugar, dissolving sugar into the sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Place veal cutlets into the sauce, cover, and simmer until veal is very tender, about 30 more minutes.
