Veal Scallopini in a Sweet Red Pepper Sauce

Servings:

This family veal scallopini recipe has been passed down for generations. The tender meat paired with a flavorful sweet red pepper sauce is so delicious you'll want it weekly. I love serving it with a spring mix salad and balsamic vinaigrette. If desired, swap beef or chicken for veal.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Place veal cutlets between two sheets of heavy plastic on a solid level surface. Pound a few times with the smooth side of a meat mallet to tenderize, if desired. Beat egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
  2. 2 Heat about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or enough to cover the bottom of a skillet, over medium heat. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture, then press into crumb mixture to coat. Fry cutlets until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  3. 3 Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add peppers and onion; cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes, water, and sugar; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover skillet; simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Reduce heat to low; place veal cutlets into sauce. Cover skillet; simmer until veal is very tender, about 30 minutes.
