Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

3/4 pound veal scallops, pounded thin between sheets of plastic wrap
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
2 tablespoons minced peperoncini (also known as Tuscan peppers)
2 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pat veal scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge veal in flour, shaking off excess, and arrange in one layer on a sheet of wax paper.

    Step 2

    In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté veal in batches without crowding 30 seconds on each side, or until pale golden, transferring with tongs to a platter.

    Step 3

    Add vermouth or wine to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add peperoncini and scallions and boil mixture 1 minute. Add butter and salt and pepper to taste and cook sauce, swirling skillet, until butter is just melted. Return veal to skillet with any juices accumulated on platter and coat with sauce.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Stir-Fried Phở Noodles With Beef
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Beef Stroganoff Ramen
This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?
Our Favorite French Onion Soup
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Pasta Alla Mezcal
This marinara sauce is great tossed with any pasta for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that will leave you thinking, “Why didn’t anyone try this sooner?”
Spaghetti With Cabbage, Pancetta, and Calabrian Chile
Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.
