Escalopes with Garlic Butter and Lemon

 

Ingredients:

• 4 veal or chicken escalopes (about 150g each)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Flour for dredging (optional)

Instructions:

1. 1. Prepare the escalopes: If the escalopes are thick, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. 2. Prepare the garlic butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside.

1. 3. Cook the escalopes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If desired, dredge the escalopes in flour, shaking off any excess. Cook the escalopes in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the escalopes. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate.
