Veal Cutlets With Arugula And Tomato Salad 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.

Steps:

• Prepare the breadcrumbs by mixing them with the Parmesan, crushed garlic and finely chopped basil

ARUGULA AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside until juicy, about 5 minutes. Toss the arugula with the olive oil, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Spread the arugula on a platter. Spoon the tomatoes and their juices on top, then drizzle with more olive oil and vinegar. Top with parmesan.

VEAL MILANESE WITH ARUGULA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place flour in one shallow bowl or pie plate and beaten egg in a second. Combine parmesan and breadcrumbs in third and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Dredge veal in flour, then egg. Allow excess egg to drip off, then transfer to breadcrumbs. Turn to coat evenly, pressing crumbs so they adhere. Transfer scallopini to a large plate.
• Add oil to a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering and corner of veal dipped in oil immediately starts bubbling. Carefully add one piece of veal to hot oil. Cook, swirling pan occasionally until golden brown on first side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully turn with tongs and cook until second side is golden brown, about 1 minute longer. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent oil from burning-veal should bubble steadily. Transfer veal to paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat with second veal scallopino
• Toss arugula, tomatoes, basil and extra parmesan shavings in a medium bowl with olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve veal and salad immediately.

VEAL WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
• Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
• Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

VEAL CUTLETS WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) Spread bread crumbs in a shallow baking pan and toast 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F (93°C). Whisk together oil, juice, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined, then stir in tomatoes and onion. Gently pound cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with the flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin. Sprinkle veal all over with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Stir together bread crumbs and cheese in a large shallow bowl. Lightly beat eggs in another large shallow bowl. Dip veal, 1 piece at a time, in egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs, coating completely, and arrange in 1 layer on a sheet of wax paper. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry 2 cutlets, turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, then transfer to baking pan and keep warm in oven. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet and fry remaining cutlets. Add arugula and basil to tomato mixture and toss, then season with salt and pepper. Serve veal topped with salad.

• Turn chops in olive oil mixture to coat them well.
• Marinate 10 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Grill veal chops on a hot barbecue 2 minutes per side.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking about 6 minutes per side until veal is 145° on a meat thermometer.

VITELLO GIARDINO(VEAL CUTLETS WITH SALAD)

Steps:

• Cut away and discard any tough bottom stems of the arugula leaves. Rinse and pat dry or use a spin-dryer. There should be about eight cups loosely packed. Cut away and discard the bottom ends of the endive. Separate the leaves. There should be about six cups loosely packed.
• Cut the tomatoes into one-inch cubes. There should be about four cups. Put the pieces in a bowl.
• Cut away the cores of the radicchio. Separate the leaves. There should be about six cups loosely packed. Put the radicchio in the bowl. Add the arugula and endive.
• Cut the onion slices in half. There should be about one and a third cups loosely packed. Add the onion to the bowl.
• Pour the olive oil and vinegar over the salad mixture. Toss to blend.
• Partially scrape away the meat from the chops but leave the meat attached at the largest portion of each bone. Place the meat, bones attached, between two sheets of clear plastic wrap. Use a flat mallet and pound the meat on one side. Turn the plastic-enclosed meat and pound on the other side. Take care not to pound holes in the meat. Ideally, you should have rounds of meat about eight to nine inches in diameter and about a quarter-inch thick.
• Dredge each chop on both sides in flour, pressing all over with the fingers to make the flour adhere. Shake off excess.
• Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Dip the chops on all sides in the beaten egg. Dredge the chops on all sides in bread crumbs, pressing with the fingers to make the crumbs adhere.
• Heat three-quarters of a cup of oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet almost to the smoking point. Add one veal chop and cook about one and a half minutes or until golden brown on one side. Turn the chops and reduce the heat to medium. Cook on the second side about one minute or until golden brown. Drain each cooked chop on absorbent paper toweling and top with another layer of toweling. Press to extract excess oil. Continue cooking one chop at a time, adding a little more oil as necessary, until all the chops are cooked.
• Transfer each chop to an individual plate, top with an equal portion of the salad and serve immediately.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH ARUGULA AND BASIL SALAD

Steps:

• Start salad:
• Whisk together oil, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a large bowl until combined, then stir in tomatoes and onion.
• Make Veal:
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

• Stir crumbs together with cheese and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Sprinkle chops with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
• Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Put oil in another shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip each chop in oil, letting excess drip off, then dredge both sides of chop (and bone) in bread-crumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere. Transfer to baking sheet.
• Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
• Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through and golden brown and grill marks appear, about 8 minutes total.
