Veal Milanese
Yields: 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 eggs
3/4 cups Italian style bread crumbs
3/4 pound thinly sliced veal cutlets (about 4 cutlets)
1/2 cup peanut oil
kosher salt / freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon 鈥� cut into 4 wedges
Cooking instructions Whisk eggs in a large bowl.
Place bread crumbs in another large bowl.
Season veal with 1 1/4 teaspoon salt and 6 turns on the pepper mill on both sides.
Dredge veal in egg wash, removing excess. Then dredge and coat into the bread crumbs, shaking off the excess. Remove breaded veal to a plate.
Heat 10-inch fry pan over medium-high heat until the pan is hot, about 1 minute.
Add the oil.
When the oil is heated and shimmers, about 1 minute.
Add the veal, working in two batches. Pan-fry until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
Flip.
Pan-fry until golden on the other side, about 1 minute.
Remove veal to a rack placed over top a large rimmed sheet pan. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
Repeat remaining veal.
(Note: The key to tender veal is to not overcook it. It should be served medium-done)
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the veal.
