I’ve always cooked veal when I could not bear another night eating chicken for dinner. Because a scallop cut is so thin, it only takes a few minutes to cook, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner. Most of the ingredients you will already have in your fridge but it still will taste like a meal meant for a queen!

Ingredients

1. 8 veal scallops
2. 1 large lemon, juiced
3. 1 medium onion, diced
4. 1/2 cup flour
5. 1/2 cup white wine
6. Salt and freshly ground pepper
7. 1-2 tablespoons butter
8. Fresh parsley, minced for garnish

Instructions

1. Combine flour with a teaspoon of salt and half teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the scallops and shake off excess flour.
2. Preheat a heavy bottomed pan over medium high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Sear each scallop and both sides for about two minutes each, until golden brown. Remove the scallops and set aside.
3. Deglaze the pan with white wine scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan (they will add more flavor to your sauce). Add the onions and sweat until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Squeeze in lemon juice and add a touch butter.
4. Add the scallops back to the pan and cook in the sauce for another minute or two.
5. Remove from the pan and place on a platter and season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

1. Make friends with a butcher! They will give you the healthiest and best quality meat 🙂
