Remove the veal escalopes from the fridge half an hour before you start. Sprinkle them all over with freshly ground pepper and flour, then shake off the excess flour. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the veal escalopes until they are golden brown on both sides yet still pink on the inside. Remove them from the pan, sprinkle them with salt, and keep them warm.
Add butter to the rest of the olive oil and fry the fresh fig pieces. Remove the figs from the pan and place them on top of the veal escalopes. Add the orange juice, the balsamic vinegar, the cane sugar and the orange rind to the pan and simmer to reduce slightly until it thickens, then season with pepper.
Serve with mashed potato and a combination of butter-steamed broccoli and celery.
