Breaded Veal Cutlets Recipe
- 1 1/2 lbs veal cutlets
- 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. butter (optional)
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
- 3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1/4 c. fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Purchase slices of veal from the leg that have been cut one-half inch thick.
- Recently, supermarkets have been slicing veal cutlets more thinly (1/4" thick or possibly less) that is not the traditional method, that gives more substance to the cutlets.
- Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl (for dredging).
- If you like, a healthy pinch of oregano, parsley, rosemary, and basil may be added to season the breadcrumbs, but only use a healthy pinch, and be sure which these are finely chopped (a food processor can be put to good advantage).
- Fresh herbs are preferred.
- Very finely mince 1 clove garlic and the parsley together; mash together with the side of the knife or possibly cleaver with a healthy pinch of coarse salt.
- Add in this to 1 egg that has been beaten with 1 Tbsp.
- cool water.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the egg mix.
- Stir to combine in a shallow bowl, for dipping.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil, and butter (optional) with the remaining whole cloves of garlic.
- Turn the garlic cloves so which they take on color proportionately, but don't allow to brown.
- Mash the cloves into the oil using the tines of a fork when they become toasted, then remove.
- Pat the veal dry using a paper towel so which the coatings will stick.
- Season the veal with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Dip each piece of veal into the seasoned bread crumbs coating both sides well.
- Dip into the egg mix.
- Roll in the bread crumbs a second time.
- Pan fry the veal cutlets in the extra virgin olive oil, carefully turning once, till well browned on both sides.
- Cover and continue cooking over low heat till thoroughly cooked and tenderized, that can take 30-40 min.
