Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 boneless veal chops or medallions
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup blended oil (canola oil and olive oil)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shaved fresh fennel (about 1/2 bulb)
1 cup shaved radishes (4 to 6 radishes)
1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and slivered
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
3 cups arugula
2 cups Parmesan cheese shavings

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the veal: To pound the veal chops, line a cutting board with plastic wrap and place a chop on top. Place another piece of plastic wrap over the chop making sure it's completely covered. Use a meat mallet to pound the veal evenly, making sure the middle and the edges are the same size, about 1/2 inch in thickness. Remove plastic from the top and set the pounded chop aside; repeat with the rest of the chops.
  • Set up 3 shallow baking dishes, one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and the third with the breadcrumbs, parsley and Parmesan. Season the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs generously with salt and pepper. Season each veal chop with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge a chop in the flour. Shake off any excess flour and then dip it into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Once the chop is in the breadcrumbs, use your hand to scoop the crumbs up and over the meat and press to make sure it adheres and evenly coats the chop. Repeat the breading procedure with the remaining chops.
  • Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup blended oil. When the oil is hot, add two of the breaded chops to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown, then turn the chops gently with tongs and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side. Lower the heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is almost brown, drizzle the juice of 1 lemon into the pan and over the crisp veal. Remove the chops and place them on a sheet pan. Drizzle the pan drippings over the veal. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup oil, remaining veal chops, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining lemon juice.
  • For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • For the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the fennel, radishes, olives and tomatoes. Toss with a few spoonfuls of vinaigrette. Add the arugula just before serving and toss again.
  • To serve: Place a veal chop on a serving plate and add some salad on top. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and some Parmesan shavings. Repeat with remaining veal, salad and Parmesan and serve.

VEAL MILANESE



Veal Milanese image

Veal Milanese (or as the Italians call it 'Cotleta Alla Milanese') is a simple Italian dish of breaded veal cutlets, that are coated with flour, egg and breadcrumbs, then fried until golden brown. They can be served with just lemon wedges, or with your favorite topping, or with pasta.

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb Veal cutlets
1 cup Flour
2 Eggs
1 cup Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup Clarified Butter or Cooking Oil (for frying)
1/2 Lemon (Quartered)

Steps:

  • Prepare your dishes for breading - beat your eggs in a shallow bowl, add flour and bread crumbs to two separate plates.
  • Season your veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • Bread all your cutlets - start with flour (shake off the excess), then the egg, and then the breadcrumbs, then set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to a very low temperature of 200F to keep your cooked veal cutlets warm until you finish up all frying.
  • Preheat your cast-iron skillet until hot, add the clarified butter or oil and let it heat up until hot (about 375 F).
  • Fry your veal cutlets in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side (don't overcrowd the pan as the oil will lose its temperature and the cutlets can get soggy).
  • Remove cooked cutlets onto a rack with baking sheet and place in the oven to keep them warm.
  • Once all your veal cutlets are fried, place them on a serving plate with lemon wedges and serve.

VEAL MILANESE



Veal Milanese image

On a cold night in the winter of 2000, the formidable food reporter Amanda Hesser went with friends to Caffe Rosso in Greenwich Village. "I was in the mood for veal and red wine," she wrote in The Times a year later. "When the main courses came, the waiter set down my veal Milanese: a pounded chop as large as a frying pan, crusted with bread crumbs and smothered with a glistening mess of arugula and tomatoes. I squeezed lemon over the veal and set about carving. It was just what I was after: the tender meat was pounded paper-thin with fat on the edges and a thin, pebbly coating of bread crumbs. The peppery salad and lemon offered steady relief. But it left me with a single thought: to come back in the summer when arugula and tomatoes are in season." Then she gave us a recipe for the dish, perfect for summer, when arugula and tomatoes are in season. Go to!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 eggs
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup flour
1 to 2 cups fine bread crumbs, made with stale, not toasted, country bread, crusts on
4 large handfuls arugula
2 small or 1 large very ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Juice of a lemon
4 veal chops with bones, pounded very thin, almost transparent (no thicker than a pie crust)
Corn oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese and parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper. Pour into a large, shallow bowl or tray. Spread flour in a second shallow bowl and bread crumbs in a third. Set aside near stove.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine arugula, tomatoes and onion. Sprinkle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt, and toss until leaves are coated. Dressing should be assertive and lemony. Set aside.
  • Working one at a time, press each veal chop into flour on each side, then pat it off so that there is just a fine dust on veal. Dip chop into egg, coating both sides, and letting as much drain off as possible. Lay chop in bread crumbs, tapping it gently to make sure it gets coated, but ever so thinly. Flip it over, and coat the other side. Layer chops between waxed paper or parchment as you go.
  • Heat oven to 175 degrees, and place a baking sheet on middle rack. Place a sauté pan large enough to fit 2 chops over medium-high heat. Pour in enough corn oil to generously cover base of pan. When oil shimmers (it should be very hot so the veal seizes immediately), add a chop and sauté until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown other side. Transfer to baking sheet, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with other chops.
  • To serve, place chops on each of four large plates. Place a large handful of salad on top of each, making sure each gets enough tomatoes and onion. Serve with a wedge of lemon, for squeezing over the meat.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality veal cutlets that are about 1/2-inch thick.
  • To make sure the cutlets are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before breading them.
  • Use a light hand when breading the cutlets so that the coating doesn't become too thick.
  • Be sure to heat the oil in the skillet until it is shimmering before adding the cutlets.
  • Cook the cutlets over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the cutlets immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Baked Veal Milanese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its crispy breading and tender veal, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Baked Veal Milanese a try.
