How to Make Roman Veal Scaloppine

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Once sizzling, add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and slightly thicken, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives and reduce heat to low.
  5. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Season 1 pound of veal scallops with salt and pepper. Dredge in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
  7. Sauté veal scallops in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook just until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Remove cooked veal to a plate and keep warm in the preheated oven while sautéing remaining batches.
  9. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed (add more salt, pepper, or a pinch of sugar to balance acidity).
  10. Spoon the tomato-olive sauce over the veal scallops. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and thin lemon slices.
  11. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta.
