The Veal Milanese Food

VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F.
• In a shallow dish, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour flour into another shallow dish. Mix together the bread crumbs, basil and thyme in a third shallow dish. Have ready one large plate.
• Season the veal with salt and pepper. Working with 1 piece of veal at a time, dip it first in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, place the floured veal into the beaten eggs, coating completely. Place the veal into the bread crumb mixture and gently press crumbs into the veal. Set aside on large plate and continue with remaining veal slices.
• In a large skillet with high sides, heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Have ready a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Carefully place 2 pieces of breaded veal in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Place cooked veal on rack, season with salt and place in oven to keep warm. Continue with remaining veal.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

THE VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• With mallet, flatten veal cutlets to 1/4 in thickness.

• Cover with wax paper and let sit in the refrigerator at least one hour.
• Heat skillet, add oil and butter.
• Cook cutlets 2 minutes per side.

VEAL MILANESE

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.

VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Pound chops between waxed paper with small heavy skillet to 1/4-inch thickness. Chops will be about 10 inches wide each. Season chops with salt and pepper. Set up an assembly line: a dish of flour, a shallow dish with beaten egg, a plate with bread crumbs combined with cheese and nutmeg.
• Add a thin layer of oil to a very large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the first 2 pieces of veal. Cook 3 minutes on each side until evenly golden. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat with remaining veal. This dish is fine served at room temperature. Do not put cooked veal in a warm oven or you will dry it out. Also, do not cover the platter with foil it will trap steam and make the cutlets soggy. The reason this dish is perfect for small dinner parties is because it is very tasty eaten at room temperature and because the sauce is raw and cold. You never have to rush your guests to their seats.
• Combine tomatoes, onions, and basil and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season the raw sauce with coarse salt, to taste. Transfer to a small bowl and set on platter with veal. Garnish platter with lemon wedges.
• Top veal with a little squeeze of lemon juice and raw sauce and enjoy.

BAKED VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk egg, lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl; mix Italian crumbs, pecorino Romano cheese, and adobo seasoning in a third bowl.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dredge each veal piece in flour, dip in egg mixture, and press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Pan-fry the breaded veal cutlets in the hot oil until crumbs are lightly browned and coating is set, about 1 minute per side. Transfer veal to a baking dish.
• Bake cutlets in the preheated oven until juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer veal onto 4 serving plates and top each cutlet with 1/4 of the arugula; sprinkle raisins over the arugula. Drizzle a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon olive oil over each serving.

Steps:

• Gently pound cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of meat pounder or with rolling pin. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
• Beat together eggs and garlic in large shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in another large shallow bowl. Dip veal, 1 piece at a time, in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to coat completely. Repeat with remaining pieces of veal.
• Heat butter and 2 tablespoons oil in large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, until foam subsides. Sauté chops in 2 batches (without crowding) until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined platter and keep warm.
• Toss arugula with vinegar in large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and remaining 6 tablespoons oil and toss well. Serve chops with salad and mustard.

VEAL SCALLOPINI MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash cut side down in baking dish; add 1/4 inch water. Cover with foil, and bake in oven until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Scoop out and discard seeds. Scrape strands from the flesh with a fork. Transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm.
• Preheat broiler. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place veal in another bowl, and coat with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Dredge veal in breadcrumb mixture; turn to coat well. Transfer to baking sheet.
• Rub inside of large wooden salad bowl with garlic. Add lemon juice, salt, and remaining tablespoon oil. Add tomatoes, sprouts, and shoots to bowl; set aside.
• Place veal about 5 inches under broiler, and cook until golden and browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, rotating pan every minute. Turn over; cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer veal to serving plates.
• Toss sprout mixture; season with remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Serve on top of veal, with spaghetti squash on the side.

MILANESE VEAL CUTLETS

Steps:

• Use a tenderiser or rolling pin to flatten the chops, leaving the bone attached, then trim away the fat.
• Beat the eggs, then mix in the basil, parmesan and some seasoning. Transfer the mixture to a plate or shallow bowl, then spread the breadcrumbs out on another plate. Dip each of the chops in the egg mixture, then immediately roll them in the breadcrumbs to thoroughly coat them. Repeat this process to give the chops a double layer of egg and breadcrumbs.
• Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large frying pan. Working in batches, fry the chops over a gentle heat for 3-4 mins each side, until the breadcrumbs turn a deep gold (you may need to add more oil to the pan as you go). Serve with a lemon wedge, some fried courgettes and a spring salad, if you like.
