Notes
Scaloppine refers to thinly cut meat from the leg of the veal = veal hind saddle. The meat is then sliced into thin cutlets to be used for veal scaloppineThe broth can be made from a cube if you do not have broth at handThe chicken stock can be left out to simplify the dish, but it adds extra flavour
