Veal Milanese
INGREDIENTS
8 veal cutlets about 2 ounces ea.
(or 4 chicken breasts flattened to about a quarter–inch and cut in half)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
½ cup flour
2 eggs
1½ cups breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Wedge of Parmesan cheese
2 small lemons
DIRECTIONS
1. Put the flour in a shallow bowl or on a piece of waxed paper.
2. Break the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat lightly.
3. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper in a small bowl or on a piece of waxed paper.
4. Unless the veal has been tenderized by the butcher, (usually it is called scaloppini then) pound the veal cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap to â…› thickness. Be careful not to tear the meat. Use a meat pounder or a rolling pin or something else, hard and unbreakable. Season them with salt & pepper.
5. Dip the cutlets in the flour, coating both sides and shaking off the excess. Then dip in the egg, letting any excess drip back in the bowl. Finally coat the cutlets on both sides with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing them in place.
6. As each cutlet is coated, place it on a tray. Cover the cutlets and refrigerate until you are ready to fry them. You could do this the day before or in the morning.
7. Pre-heat a heavy sauté pan on low heat. Add the oil and butter. When the foam subsides, turn up the heat to medium and add as many cutlets as the skillet will hold comfortably; do not crowd the pan.
8. Cook until the cutlets are gold on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side about 30 seconds longer. With tongs, lift the cutlets as they are done, allowing any excess oil to drain back into the skillet, and transfer to several thicknesses of paper towels. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
