Scallopine and Macadamia Nuts in Pineapple Sauce with a Pear Salad

Posted 2017-11-14 by finyfollow

This baby veal was absolutely delicious and so tender - I don't often have a red meat meal, and I really enjoyed this one.

I teamed it with a honey, pear and parmesan rocket salad, and made a pineapple and lime sauce for the veal. This is a very quick meal and only takes minutes to cook.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 8 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients
For the scallopine
4 pieces or about 275 g baby veal
¼ cup corn flour
2 tbsp oil
2 spring onions, chopped
¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp honey
½ tbsp lime zest
Less than ¼ cup Macadamia nuts (or similar)
For the salad
Good handful of rocket
1 large pear, thinly sliced
¼ cup shave fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tsp honey
½ tbsp olive oil
¾ tbsp red vinegar

Method
For the salad
  • Put the rocket, pear and Parmesan in a bowl.


  • Mix the oil, vinegar and honey in a screw top jar or similar.

  • Shake and mix till combined.

  • Add this dressing to the salad, and toss to coat.

  • For the scallopine
  • Put the corn flour in a shallow dish and add some salt and pepper.

  • Dredge the veal in this to lightly coat both sides. Shake off excess.

  • Heat a tbsp of oil in a wok, and using a medium to high heat, swirl the oil to coat the sides of the pan.

  • Arrange the veal so they extend up the sides of the wok without overlapping.


  • Cook, turning once and rotating as necessary until it is brown on both sides. Do not overcook - just 2 - 3 minutes on each side.

  • Remove to a plate.

  • Add the remaining oil and add the shallots and cook, stirring until softened - about 3 minutes. Remove to the plate with the veal.

  • Add the pineapple juice, lime juice, honey and lime zest to the wok.

  • Boil until it becomes thick and syrupy - about 5 minutes.


  • Return the veal and spring onions to the wok. Put on a plate and top with the macadamia nuts.


  • Serve with the salad.
