Pan-searing the veal makes it tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. Just make sure that your pan is nice and hot before cooking. Serve with wild rice alongside to help soak up some of the fantastic, tasty sauce, which is built in the same pan while the veal cooks. It features chicken broth, artichoke hearts, briny capers, fresh lemon juice, and oregano, and comes together in just 10 minutes. You'll delightfully fool everyone with how easily this impressive-looking, beautiful dinner comes together.
