Start With A (Flat) Braciola...

Or, Favorite Italian Cutlet and Scallop Recipes

By , About.com Guide

Fesa di Vitello al Limone

Lemony veal cutlets are simple, quick, and tasty too. Do go easy on the garlic, however.

Costolette alla Contadina

Contadina-Style Veal Chops, or Costolette alla Contadina: This is a simple, hearty veal chop recipe from Lombardia that makes pleasing use of beans as well. The use of cloves is somewhat unusual, as Italian dentists still used clove oil on cavities until recently, and some cooks will omit them.

Arrosto Palermitano

Simple Sicilian grilled beef cutlets, seasoned with herbs and bread crumbs, and refreshing too.

Costolette di Vitello coi Peperoni

This is Calabrian recipe for veal cutlets with peppers, and ideally the peppers should have some bite. If need be, however, you can use sweet bell peppers instead.

Scaloppine con le Olive...

Olives, capers, oregano, and tomatoes are a simple, zesty addition to a pan of veal scallops.

Scaloppine alla Mediterranea

This is a simple, zesty dish that obviously draws from the Neapolitan carne alla pizzaiola, though it is a little quicker to do and also has peppers.

Scaloppine Alla Primavera

Primavera sauce is incredibly variable; some people like some vegetables, and some vegetables do better in one vegetable patch as opposed to another, so no two recipes are alike, though they all do share the freshness of spring. This sauce will work quite nicely over scaloppini, and preparing a tasty meal with it will take minutes.

Braciole del Vinaio

This Tuscan recipe is simpler than the ingredient list might make you think, and will be quite refreshing on a crisp fall day.

Bracioline alla Bartola

A tasty variation on stewed cutlets or scallops cooked in a tomatoey sauce, from Pellegrino Artusi. Fillet is the cut of veal or beef best suited for this dish, though rump and round can be used.
