Description
Piccata — thinly pounded veal scaloppine, lightly floured and sautéed, finished with lemon juice and capers — demonstrates the Italian technique of building a rapid pan sauce that does not reduce to a glaze but remains an emulsified, bright, coating liquid. The lemon must be squeezed at the last moment (its volatile compounds evaporate within minutes of juicing), and the butter swirled in off heat (monter au beurre, applied to Italian cooking).
