Cooking Frozen Breaded Veal Patties Food

WIENER SCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
• To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.

VEAL PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. In a small cup or glass, mix chicken stock and gelatin. Set aside.
• 2. In a medium bowl, combine meat, onion, salt, pepper, paprika, marjoram, oregano, and breadcrumbs. Add gelatin to meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
• 3. Divide meat mixture into fourths and shape into oval patties. Lay on a parchment paper lined plate. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• 4. If you want to coat these in breading, you can dip them into milk, then dredge in breadcrumbs before frying.
• 5. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan. Swirl the butter around in the pan. Place the patties into the pan and cook 10 minutes per side. Ground veal should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
• 6. Notes: You can use an egg instead of the chicken stock and gelatin. You can cook these without breading them.
