Grill the veal while the noodles boil so both are ready at the same time.

Cooks' note:

• If uncooked cutlets are more than 1/4 inch thick, pound to 1/4 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with a rolling pin.

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

For sauce

1 1/4 cupslow-fat chicken stock or low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

For veal

2 lb veal cutlets (also called scallopini; 1/4 inch thick)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Special Equipment

a well-seasoned ridged grill pan

Preparation

  1. Make sauce:

    Step 1

    Boil stock and wine in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan until reduced by about half (to about 3/4 cup), about 3 minutes. Whisk together flour and water in a cup, then whisk into stock. Boil, stirring, 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in butter, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Keep sauce warm.

  2. Prepare veal:

    Step 2

    Cut veal into 3-inch pieces, then pat dry with paper towels. Lightly oil grill pan and heat over high heat until just smoking.

    Step 3

    While pan is heating, sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Grill veal in batches, without crowding, until browned, about 30 seconds on each side, transferring with tongs to a platter. Grill lemon slices, in batches if necessary, until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side, transferring to platter with veal.

    Step 4

    Stir parsley into warm sauce and pour over veal.
