Recipe by Paul Mayville

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds veal scaloppini
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup veal stock (or 1/2 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup beef stock)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Directions

Place veal between sheets of plastic wrap and pound thinly with a mallet or bottom of sauce pan.

In a shallow dish, combine flour and seasonings. Dredge veal in flour mixture, and set aside. In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter and add olive oil. Saute veal until lightly browned on both sides; set aside and keep warm.

Deglaze pan with vodka (away from flame). Add stock and lemon juice, and reduce sauce to one-third. Stir in cream and tomatoes.

Plate veal topped with sauce and garnish with green onions.
