    PANFRIED VEAL CUTLETS IN THE GERMAN STYLE
    Serves 4

    A lot of the veal consumed in this world is prepared very much like this, and there's a good reason for that: It's delicious. This is the classic schnitzel, also known as Veal Francaise, which we felt we had to include in this book or it simply would not be complete.
    Putting the breading on the cutlet is not complicated, but it does require that you be organized and systematic so you get an even coat and don't make a mess. Lots of waxed paper on the counter is a good idea. Also, notice that breaded meat requires more fat than plain sauteed meat; the fat should come almost halfway up the sides of the cutlets. And, finally, be sure you get the butter nice and brown, but don't let it go over the end into burned territory.
    Serve this with buttered noodles and applesauce for a real Germanic experience.

    12 veal leg cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
    Flour for dredging (about 1 1/2 cups)
    4 large eggs, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons milk
    2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
    1/2 cup olive oil
    4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    1 lemon, quartered and seeded
    2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

    1. Place each cutlet between two pieces of waxed paper and pound with a meat mallet or other heavy blunt object such as a small frying pan to a 1/2-inch thickness. Dry the cutlets well with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet lightly with the flour, then dip in the egg mixture and then in the bread crumbs to coat. Place the breaded cutlets on a cake rack set over waxed paper and let them dry at room temperature for 15 minutes.

    2. In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the veal in a single layer, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding, and saute just until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined platter as they are done and cover to keep warm.

    3. Pour the fat out of the pan, wipe out the pan with paper towels, then place it back over medium-high heat. Add the butter, swirling the pan so that it melts evenly. When the butter has reached a nutty golden brown color, immediately squeeze the lemon juice into the pan. Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper.

    4. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the brown butter over the cutlets. Serve immediately.

    GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS, BUFFALO-STYLE
    How to Cook Meat by Chris Schlesinger, John Willoughby

    We've done this before and we'll do it again, because we really like it: grilling something and then cutting it up and tossing it in a Buffalo wings mixture. The combination of the spicy mix and the smoke flavor really works well; in this case, it makes for an appetizer that people are wild about. You have to use the baby back ribs here, because they are tender enough to grill in a relatively short time. Just be sure that you don't have the ribs directly over the fire while they're cooking.
    SERVES 6 AS AN APPETIZER

    2 slabs baby back ribs (20 bones), about 3 pounds total
    1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
    15 dashes Tabasco sauce, or more to taste
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh herbs: any one or a combination of sage, oregano, thyme, basil, and/or parsley
    Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
    Your favorite blue cheese dressing (optional)
    Celery sticks (optional)

    1. Start a fire well over to one side of a large kettle grill, using about enough coals to fill a large shoe box.

    2. When the coals are well lit and covered with gray ash, place the meat on the side of the grill away from the coals, being careful that none of the meat is directly over the coals. Put the lid on the grill with the vents open one quarter of the way and cook for 20 minutes. Flip the ribs and cook them for an additional 20 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Tabasco, garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste and mix well.

    4. When the ribs are done, remove them from the fire and cut them apart. Toss them with the sauce mixture to coat thoroughly, then serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks if you want.
