Veal chops with capers

4 servings

30 minutes

Here, the veal fillet needs to be carefully cut across the grain, so get a good knife in advance. The veal needs to be fried in a mixture of olive oil and butter, and the olive oil should be refined, not afraid of frying. Recipe from the book by Allen Rucker and Michelle Scicolone "The Sopranos Family Cookbook.
