Braciole de Vitello alla Milanese -- Veal Chops Milan Style
- 8 veal chops, about 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick
- Bread crumbs, unseasoned, finely grated
- 1 tbsp. oregano
- 2 tbsp. parsley
- 3 to 4 lg. eggs, beaten slightly
- 1 cup milk
- Flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Have your butcher cut each veal chop about 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick.
- Also have him clean off about an inch or so from the tail of the bone.
- Take each chop and wipe dry.
- With a sharp paring or boning knife, slice along the bone the width of the chop.
- Cut only half way through the meat itself.
- Turn the knife at a right angle to the bone and cut across the chop almost to the end.
- Stop before reaching the end.
- Fold out the flap of veal just cut.
- You now have a chop that is half as thick, but twice as wide from when you started.
- With the bone on one side.
- Place the chop between sheets of waxed paper and pound the veal thin, to about 1/2 the original thickness.
- Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan.
- In a large bowl mix beaten eggs and milk.
- In another bowl mix all the dry ingredients, except the flour.
- Dredge each chop in the flour first, then dip into the egg wash, making sure the chop is well coated.
- Then coat the chop with the breadcrumbs.
- Place on a rack until dry, about 10 minutes.
- Fry each breaded veal chop in the olive oil until nicely browned.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
