A traditional Genovese dish known as cima alla Genovese is actually a meat loaf consisting of a veal breast stuffed with a huge number of ingredients. Here are just some of them: onions, pork fat, ground veal, pistachios, various offal, peas, hard-boiled eggs, carrots, garlic, and crustless white bread.
The whole concoction is flavored with spices such as bay leaves, parsley, and black pepper. The dish is a typical representation of the cucina povera, and in the past it was prepared as a frugal way to use leftovers. Today, it is a rare, but very sought after dish that is traditionally served sliced and accompanied by steamed vegetables or salads on the side.

Scaloppine al limone is a traditional veal dish. Although there are many recipes for this dish, it's usually made with a combination of veal scallops, lemon juice, flour, butter, salt, and black pepper. The scallops are lightly pounded, dusted with flour, and browned on both sides in butter.
The meat is then seasoned with salt and pepper, while the lemon juice is added to the pan and the combination is cooked until the sauce starts to thicken. Once done, the veal scallops are arranged on a serving plate and drizzled over with the refreshing lemon sauce.
