Veal Piccata with Capers and Lemons

Veal Piccata

It’s easy to find ourselves making the same choices over and over, especially for dinners during the week. That’s why I want to share this recipe for Veal Piccata with capers and lemon with you.  Trying something a little different can make a typical weeknight into a special occasion. So what’s for dinner tonight? How about this Veal Piccata.

I think this veal piccata dish is spectacular served with a side of roasted potatoes on a bed of arugula with extra lemon slices tucked in.  Of course you can also serve it over pasta, rice or whatever starch you desire. It’s very versatile, which is perfect during the week.
