Veal cutlets are thin slices of veal that are typically pounded to about 1/4-inch thickness. Veal is a mild meat with a delicate flavor, so it is important to choose high-quality cutlets for this dish.

Butter is used to cook the veal cutlets in the skillet. Butter adds a rich flavor to the dish and also helps to prevent the cutlets from sticking to the pan.

Garlic adds a savory flavor to the sauce. Be sure to mince the garlic finely so that it cooks evenly and doesn’t overpower the other flavors in the dish.

You can substitute another hot sauce of your choice if you don’t have Noubess Original Hot Sauce. Make sure it is a sauce with texture and deep flavors.

Dark rum or Rum Barbancourt adds a rich, caramel flavor to the sauce. It also helps to deglaze the pan, which releases all of the delicious browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Chicken stock adds flavor and moisture to the sauce. Be sure to use a low-sodium chicken stock to avoid making the dish too salty.

Notes and Tips for the recipe

Veal Scallopini with Rum and Hot Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. Here are a few notes and tips to help you make the best recipe possible:

  • Choose high-quality veal cutlets. Veal is a mild meat with a delicate flavor, so it is important to choose high-quality cutlets for this dish. Look for cutlets that are about 1/4-inch thick, have a nice reddish color, and have a nice marbling.
  • Pound the veal cutlets. Pounding the veal cutlets helps to tenderize them and also makes them more even in thickness. This will help them cook evenly in the pan.
  • Dredge the veal cutlets in flour. Dredging the veal cutlets in flour helps them to hold their shape and also gives them a nice golden brown crust.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan. When cooking the veal cutlets, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will lower the pan’s temperature and prevent the veal cutlets from browning properly.
  • Use a low-sodium chicken stock. Chicken stock adds flavor and moisture to the sauce, but it can also make the dish salty. Be sure to use a low-sodium chicken stock to avoid making the dish too salty.
  • Don’t overcook the veal. Veal is a lean meat, so it is important not to overcook it. Overcooked veal will be dry and tough.
  • Let the sauce thicken. Be sure to let the sauce thicken slightly before adding the veal back to the pan. This will help the sauce to coat the veal cutlets evenly.
  • Serve immediately. Veal Scallopini is best served immediately. This will ensure that the veal is tender and juicy.

Here are a few additional tips:

  • If you don’t have a large frying pan, you can cook the veal cutlets in batches in a smaller pan.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the sauce. To make a cornstarch slurry, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Whisk until dissolved, then add to the sauce and cook until thickened.
  • If you don’t have Noubess Original Hot Sauce, you can substitute another hot sauce of your choice. However, keep in mind that the flavor of the dish will vary depending on the type of hot sauce you use.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers.
  • Serve the veal scallopini with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
