Notes
Top tip
The veal will be very tender so there is no need to pound the meat. Add lemon zest to turn up the citrus flavor on this dish! Simmering the veal for 20 minutes will allow any connective tissue to break down. However, if you don't have the time, you can skip it and serve immediately.Baking Option
- After searing, place it in a baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Continue with deglazing using the sherry or wine. Add broth and lemon juice and lemon slices, top with sliced butter.
- Place in oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until veal is fork tender.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes, garnish with parsley and serve.
