- Heat a generous amount of clarified butter in a large pan over medium heat until very hot.
- In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, add two or three cloves of garlic, and sauté.
- Add the Belgian endive cut into small pieces, cover tightly and cook until wilted (a 'tufatella' style).
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and a handful of olives, season with black pepper, and continue cooking until nicely toasted.
- Place the floured veal pieces into the hot butter and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper, then grate some lemon zest over the top.
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the meat, making sure no seeds fall in.
- Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and let the sauce reduce and become creamy.
- Serve the veal scallops with the side of Belgian endive, pouring the pan sauce over the meat.
