Veal Scallopini with Brown Butter and Capers

This classic veal scallopini with brown butter and capers is a sophisticated yet deceptively simple dish that brings an elegant touch to your dinner table. The tender veal is lightly floured and pan-fried until golden, then finished in a rich, nutty beurre noisette. The sharp acidity of the red wine vinegar and the briny punch of the capers provide a beautiful contrast to the buttery sauce, creating a balanced and savoury flavour profile that feels truly indulgent.

Perfect for an effortless midweek treat or an impressive weekend supper, this quick-cooking meal pairs wonderfully with steamed greens or buttery mashed potatoes. While the veal provides a delicate base, the fresh flat-leaf parsley adds a vibrant finish to the plate. This recipe is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-protein, refined dish that can be prepared from start to finish in less than twenty minutes.

Ingredients for Veal Scallopini with Brown Butter and Capers

  • 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

  • 120ml plain flour

  • 450g thin veal scallopini (less than 1/4 inch thick)

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons drained small capers

  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

How to make Veal Scallopini with Brown Butter and Capers

Heat a 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over high heat until hot, then add oil and heat until it shimmers.

Meanwhile, stir together flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper, then pat veal dry and dredge in flour, knocking off excess.

Cook veal in 2 batches, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.

Discard oil from skillet, then add butter and cook over medium heat, shaking skillet frequently, until browned and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, capers, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Return veal to skillet just to heat through, then sprinkle with parsley.
