Suzannes Scalloppine Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten cutlets to 1/8-in. thickness. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add veal; turn to coat. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium heat. Add veal; cook until juices run clear, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and keep warm., Add mushrooms to skillet; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Spoon over veal. Stir broth into skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Add parsley and remaining butter; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes longer. Pour over veal and mushrooms.

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large shallow dish and season with the salt and pepper. Pat the chicken scaloppini dry with paper towels, then put them in the flour, coating the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook, in batches if needed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack-lined sheet tray.
• Reduce the heat under the same cast-iron skillet and add the onion, garlic and rosemary. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and capers and scrape the skillet as the butter melts to deglaze. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Add the chicken pieces back to warm through and allow the sauce to reduce, another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
• Garnish with the lemon supremes and serve.

Steps:

• Pound the 4 pieces of chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to flatten them, about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the chicken with the flour, shaking off any excess.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and butter. Mix together and when the butter has melted add the chicken, working in batches, until they are golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, to a serving platter, cover and keep warm. Add the chicken broth to the pan and cook it over high heat until it reduces by half and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley and basil. Taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken serve with the Roasted Garlic and Mushroom Risotto.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the top off the head of garlic. Put it on a large square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the extra-virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the foil around and over the garlic. Roast until it is soft, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Pour the 2 cans of broth into a saucepan, over low heat, and add 3 cans of water. Bring to a simmer.
• In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute to toast.
• Add 2 ladles full of hot broth to the pan and gently stir the rice. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Adjust the heat so that the pan is just gently bubbling. Continue adding broth and stirring until all the broth is used and the rice is cooked but not mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is nice and creamy, stir in the butter, Parmesan and the garlic pulp. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
• Reserve 3 cups for another use.

Steps:

• Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add cutlets and cook quickly, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cutlets to a plate.
• Return skillet to low heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling the pan, until you can smell it. Squeeze in the lemon or lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon over cutlets and serve.

Steps:

• Pound pork slices to 3/8 inch thick, season with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Transfer to a wire rack, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, and then add 1 tablespoon butter and melt, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Add 3 pork slices in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and pork is cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a serving platter and loosely cover with foil. Repeat.
• Add capers and herbs and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, just until fragrant, less than 30 seconds. Add wine and cook until reduced by half. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter and pour sauce over pork. Add arugula to platter and drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
• Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
• Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
• Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

Steps:

• Cut the veal against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Cut the slices into eighteen 1 1/2-ounce pieces (or have your butcher do this for you). Pound the veal between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8-inch thickness. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Dredge the veal in flour, coating well on both sides. Set the floured veal aside on a baking sheet.
• Heat two large sauté pans over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl 2 tablespoons oil in each pan, and wait a minute. Shake the excess flour from the veal, and place a single layer in each pan (make sure the pieces of veal are not crowded or overlapping). Cook a minute or two on each side, until the veal is nicely browned. Remove the meat to a baking sheet, and finish cooking the remaining veal, adding more oil to the pan, as necessary.
• Pour the oil out of one of the pans but don't wipe it clean (those crusty bits are tasty). Return the pan to medium-high heat (you will only need one pan to make the sauce), and add the butter. Cook a few minutes, swirling the pan often, until the butter browns and smells nutty. Turn off the heat and wait a minute. Then stir in 1/3 cup salsa verde, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Taste for balance and seasoning. Be careful-the butter will be very hot.
• Spoon half the hot polenta onto a large warm platter, and scatter the dandelion greens over the top. Arrange the veal over the greens, allowing some of the polenta and greens to show through. Spoon the salsa verde-brown butter over the veal. Serve the rest of the polenta and remaining salsa verde on the side.
• Using a mortar and pestle, pound the herbs to a paste. (You may have to do this in batches.) Work in some of the olive oil, and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Pound the garlic and anchovy, and add them to the herbs.
• Gently pound the capers until they're partially crushed, and add them to the herbs. Stir in the remaining oil, a pinch of black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste for balance and seasoning.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons butter and, when it foams, add the corn. Season with the thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, until the corn is just cooked and tender. Stir the corn into the polenta right before serving.
• You can pound the veal and prepare the salsa verde a few hours ahead. You can make the polenta and sauté the corn ahead of time, too. Stir the corn into the polenta at the last minute.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Slice each chicken thigh open like a book and lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, a wine bottle or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each piece of chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Put two large skillets over medium-high heat for a minute or 2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put the flour and bread crumbs on two plates or in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
• Add 1 tablespoon each oil and butter to each skillet and swirl it around. When it is hot - a pinch of flour will sizzle - dredge a piece of the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the eggs and finally dredge it in the bread crumbs. Add the chicken piece to one of the pans, then repeat with another piece in the second pan. (You may be able to fit more than one paillard in each pan at a time.)
• Cook the chicken, rotating occasionally and regulating the heat if necessary so it sizzles constantly but doesn't burn. When the pieces are brown, after about 2 minutes, turn them over.
• Cook on the second side until the chicken is firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. (Cut into one with a thin-bladed knife; the center should be white or slightly pink.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and put it in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil and butter to each skillet as necessary.
• When all the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat under one of the skillets. Add a tablespoon or 2 more oil or butter to the other pan if it looks dry and sprinkle the fat with 2 teaspoons of the remaining flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and stir and scrape the pan until the wine has reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a bit syrupy, another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan around until it melts. Add any juices that have accumulated around the cooked chicken, along with the 1/4 cup parsley. Stir, taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
