💡 Tips and Variations

For a variation, try substituting veal with chicken or turkey slices. Add capers or olives for an extra burst of flavour. If you prefer, use chicken broth in place of beef broth.

📦 Storage

  • • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days, ensuring they are well covered with sauce.
  • • For longer storage, freeze the scaloppine in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months.
  • • Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating gently in a pan with a bit of broth to maintain juiciness.

🍷 Pairing

Pair this dish with a glass of Contea di Sclafani Rosso Novello wine, which complements the citrus notes and the delicate veal beautifully with its rich bouquet and harmonious taste.
