Scaloppine al Limone

Pane-Bistecca

Scaloppine al Limone are traditional cutlets cooked in lemon sauce. You can find them in many restaurants in Italy, either made from veal, pork or even chicken.

They are actually my hubby’s birthday dinner, because my mom always cooked them together with a risotto, and served them to him for his birthday.

He recently mentioned that he would love to eat them again, so I cooked them for him with the risotto! He was so happy!
