Veal Milanese with Eggplant and Onions
- 4 small eggplants (about 7 ounces each), quartered lengthwise
- 1 large onion, cut into 8 wedges through the root end
- 1 1/4 cups pure olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped sage
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/4 pounds thin veal cutlets
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- In a large bowl, toss the eggplants and onion with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and browned.
- Meanwhile, in a large pie plate, toss the bread crumbs with the Parmesan and sage.
- Put the flour and eggs in 2 separate pie plates.
- Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour and dip in the eggs, letting any excess drip back into the plate.
- Dredge the cutlets in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly to help the crumbs adhere.
- In a very large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil until shimmering.
- Add half of the cutlets and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until cooked through and crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil to the skillet and fry the remaining cutlets.
- Serve the veal cutlets with the eggplant and onion.
