Cooks' Note

Thin veal cutlets are sometimes labeled veal “scaloppine.” For quick-cooking veal dishes such as this, the cutlets should be pounded to a thickness of less than 1⁄8 inch. Put them between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap. If you don’t have a meat tenderizer or mallet, you can use the side of a cleaver or the bottom of a flat skillet.
