Carmela’s "Guilt" Veal Piccata
Show Context
Carmela cooks for Tony when he comes over. It’s a power move. She makes sure the house smells amazing so he misses her. It says 'I'm independent, but I still make the best veal in North Jersey.'
Veal in a lemon-butter sauce with capers.
Instructions

Deglaze: Add lemon juice and stock to the pan. Scrape up the brown bits.
