Veal Oscar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 12 slices veal scaloppine (about 1/2 pound)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine, divided
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 1/2 pound fresh lump crabmeat, drained
- 1 lemon, halved and seeded
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and steamed
- Fresh tarragon sprigs (optional)
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over veal. Combine veal and flour in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal bag, and shake to coat veal with flour.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of veal, and cook for 1 minute on each side or until browned. Remove veal from skillet; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon margarine and veal. Wipe drippings from skillet.
- Coat skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Add the crabmeat, and saute for 1 minute or until warm. Squeeze the lemon halves over crabmeat, and stir well; remove from heat, and set aside.
- Place 3 veal slices and one-fourth of the steamed asparagus on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon the crabmeat evenly over veal, and top each serving with 3 tablespoons Bearnaise Sauce. Garnish with fresh tarragon sprigs, if desired. Serve with angel hair pasta.
