Short, sweet and easy to prepare. Fallowed the recipe as written and served it with steamed brocoli topped with parmesan cheese. The blend of olive oil,capers lemon, butter and parsley,rendered this dish a pure delight. Thanks

although i had veal, i made this with chicken scallops because everyone was in a hurry to have dinner tonight, and i wasn't hungry - everyone rated this 10 stars and they liked it as much as my own personal recipe, should i be upset,:)??? start to finish, this took no time at all- i made 12 scallops in less than 20 minutes. i added white pepper to the flour mixture. i also used 6 lemon slices (1 whole lemon) and 3/4 c wine, 1 1/2 tbsp butter and fresh chopped parsley for the sauce very tasty, quick, and easy

This is foolproof & amazing! I substituted approx. 3T of lemon juice for the lemon slices. I also salted the cutlets before dusting with flour. I also added more capers.

Great recipe as it is but I've tweaked it successfully, too. Chicken or pork cutlets are good substitutes for veal which is hard to get where I live. I've also added 1/4 C heavy cream to the sauce & used brandy rather than wine. It's ALL good!!
