About the dish

Piccata al limone is a traditional meat dish originating from Italy. Although there are many recipes, the dish is usually made with a combination of veal scallops, butter, lemon juice, flour, parsley, and salt. The veal is pounded with a mallet, sprinkled with flour, cooked in butter over high heat on both sides, and then seasoned with salt. A mixture of water and lemon juice is poured into the pan and cooked until reduced. It's then sprinkled with chopped parsley and dotted with butter. Once the butter has melted, the veal scallops are removed from the pan and served in lemon sauce. Baked potatoes are a perfect accompaniment to this dish.
