Veal Cutlets Italian Style Recipes

VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Prepare your dishes for breading - beat your eggs in a shallow bowl, add flour and bread crumbs to two separate plates.
• Season your veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
• Bread all your cutlets - start with flour (shake off the excess), then the egg, and then the breadcrumbs, then set aside.
• Preheat your oven to a very low temperature of 200F to keep your cooked veal cutlets warm until you finish up all frying.
• Preheat your cast-iron skillet until hot, add the clarified butter or oil and let it heat up until hot (about 375 F).
• Fry your veal cutlets in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side (don't overcrowd the pan as the oil will lose its temperature and the cutlets can get soggy).
• Remove cooked cutlets onto a rack with baking sheet and place in the oven to keep them warm.
• Once all your veal cutlets are fried, place them on a serving plate with lemon wedges and serve.

CLASSIC BREADED VEAL CUTLETS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pat dry the cutlets and set them aside.
• On a plate, combine the flour and salt.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with the water.
• Put the breadcrumbs or panko on another plate.
• Line the plates and bowl in order from left to right: flour, egg, breadcrumbs (right to left if you're left-handed). Set a platter or baking tray at the end of the line, after the breadcrumbs.
• Dredge the cutlet on both sides in the flour to coat it thoroughly; shake off any excess.
• Dip it in the egg so it is completely covered and lift it out so the excess egg can drip off.
• Lay the cutlet in the breadcrumbs, covering it on both sides, gently pressing the crumbs onto the surface of the cutlet.
• Set the cutlet on a baking sheet or platter and repeat with the remaining cutlets, placing in one layer without touching.
• Heat a shallow layer of oil in a wide, high-sided frying pan or similar vessel over medium-high heat. Add as many cutlets as fit in a single layer. If the cutlets get too dark, lower the heat as needed.
• Fry the cutlets until they're golden brown on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn them over and cook them until they're golden brown on the other side and cooked through. Cooking time should be 4 to 6 minutes total. Do not overcook.
• Repeat with any remaining cutlets, if necessary.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate or platter.
• Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.
