Piccata

Piccata is an Italian dish of thin pan-fried flour-dredged meat in a sauce of lemon juice, butter, parsley, and often capers.

A similar dish, pesce spada con capperi e limone, is made with swordfish.

[4] Piccata, the past passive participle of piccare, literally means 'larded', 'seasoned', or 'pounded flat'.

The sauce is made using pan drippings; lemon juice and white wine or chicken stock are added and reduced.

[6] In the United States, it is usually served with a vegetable or starch, such as pasta, polenta or rice.
