- ●1 tablespoon, drained capers
- ●1 tablespoon olive oil
- ●2, drained (optional) anchovy fillets

Instructions

- 4Arrange the chilled veal slices on a serving platter or individual plates.
- 5Generously spoon the tonnato sauce over the veal slices, ensuring each slice is well-covered.
- 6Garnish with extra capers, a drizzle of olive oil, or a lemon wedge.

- 8Serve cold as an appetizer or light main course.
