Notes

Start with quality veal scallopini such as the one I use from Sealand Quality Foods. It’s perfectly cut and flash frozen in individual packs.
Make sure you really dredge the veal in the flour mix you have made. This will make sure they get the right texture when cooking.
Use a thick-bottomed skillet if possible. This will help to cook the dish evenly throughout and reduce any possibility of burning.
When making the piccata, allow the ingredients to simmer for enough time that all the flavors really combine nicely.
Let the veal sit in the sauce for a few minutes before serving so the veal scallopini can really soak up the piccata sauce for the best flavor and enjoyment.
This veal scallopini is a real treat to make and much easier than it looks. It's a great recipe to make when you want something but special but doesn't take all that long to cook. 15 minutes tops really. Give it ago, I'm sure you'll love it.
Yes, you can keep it in the fridge for up to three days, though it is best served fresh. You can also freeze it however, fresh is still better.
Yes, you could use chicken if you would like to use another meat in the recipe.
There are lots of things you can serve as a side dish with veal scallopini.Rice and potatoes go really nicely with this dish and can soak up the sauce beautifully.You can also choose to serve it with fresh steamed vegetables like broccoli and carrots or fresh green beans.
It's really up to you what kind of side you want to go with your veal scallopini but the sides described above are great options.
This is a really quick dish to make. The meat cooks super quick as it's so thin and the sauce is quick too. It shouldn't take you longer than about 15 or 20 minutes to make.
