VEAL CHOP MILANESE WITH TOMATO AND BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Pound the veal (or have the butcher do this ahead of time) to a 1/4-inch thin and broad cutlet, leaving the bone still attached. Set aside while you prepare the breading setup. Put the flour on a dish large enough to dredge the veal on. Combine the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper in a large bowl or dish with sides high enough to hold the liquid and veal chops.
• Next, combine the bread crumbs, parsley and Parmesan cheese in a large flat casserole so that the process of breading may be kept neat and tidy.
• Make the tomato vinaigrette by combining the diced tomato with the shredded basil leaves in a bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the 1/3 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the veal cutlets one at a time, or if they are small enough and your pan is large enough, two at a time. As you saute the veal, brown one side and keep the veal warm in a 250 degree oven while the rest are cooked. Serve the veal with a generous spoonful of the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette over the top.

VEAL CHOPS, WITH FRESH BASIL

Steps:

• Dredge the chops lightly with flour. In a large skillet, brown chops. Remove them and set aside. Add the onion and soften with the garlic and prosciutto.
• Return the chops to the skillet, overlapping them slightly if necessary. Add the basil (reserving some to garnish) and mushrooms and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chops are cooked. They should be pink in the middle.
• Remove the chops from the pan. Add the wine, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cook for two to three minutes. Return the chops to the pan, and heat through. Sprinkle with reserved basil and serve.

Steps:

• Put 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive on a plate; sprinkle white pepper on the extra virgin olive oil.

After the sauce is ready remove from heat, strain and serve on top of the veal chop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if needed.
