Costolette Di Vitello Al Cartoccio Recipes

COSTOLETTE DI VITELLO ALLA CAPRICCIOSA (VEAL CHOP MILANESE)

Steps:

• Combine eggs, parsley, Parmigiano, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 more shallow bowls. Dredge the veal chop in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into egg mixture and cover with bread crumbs.
• Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, fry the veal until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from pan onto paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
• In a stainless steel or ceramic bowl toss tomatoes, onion, basil, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Plate veal and top with tomato salad.

COSTOLETTE DI VITELLO AL CARTOCCIO

Steps:

• Melt butter in saucepan; saute mushrooms for 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, prosciutto, wine, salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil, lower heat and cook for 5 minutes.
• Season chops with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in skillet; brown chops on both sides.
• Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper large enough to completely fold over each chop. Brush the paper with remaining oil. Place a chop in center of each piece of parchment and cover with the sauce. Sprinkle each chop with parsley. Fold over the paper, sealing the edges well.
• Place on a baking sheet; bake in a 375F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve in the paper with the top rolled back.
• Note: I usually place the parchment packages on a large wooden carving board and bring it to the table. You can either snip open the packages with scissors or carefully with a sharp knife. I like to remove the contents onto the dinner plate. Fried zucchini sticks go very well with this dish. Enjoy.

SPAGHETTI AL CARTOCCIO - (SPAG COOKED IN A BAG)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°C.
• To make the bags, take two 50cm square sheets of foil, lay a same size square of baking paper over each one and fold in half. Scrunch up the sides to form an open pouch, brush the insides with a little oil.
• Heat the rest of the oil in a pan and fry the garlic for 1 minute on medium.
• Add tomatoes, wine oregano, chili, sugar, anchovies, capers and olives and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until only just al dente.
• Drain, toss with the sauce, and divide between the 2 bags. Add the prawns and clams and fold and scrunch the tops to make a tight seal.
• Put them on a tray and bake for 15 minutes.
• To serve, tip the bag contents onto a plate and scatter with the parsley and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
