10 Delicious Recipes for Traditional Italian Lombardy Cuisine
1. Cotolette alla Mianese
Authentic Italian Veal Milanese
Veal Milanese, which in Italian is Cotoletta alla Milanese, is probably one of my favorite recipes to make. It’s easy and your family will love it!
Recipe by nonnabox
bone-in veal cutlets
clarified butter
Oven
pie plate
4 bone-in veal cutlets about ¾” thick, trimmed
2 eggs medium
2 cups breadcrumbs
Instructions
Make two or three cuts on the edges of each cutlet to keep them from curling up as they cook.
Heat the clarified butter over medium-high heat to about 375*F. The secret to cooking the meat is to cook it quickly at a very high temperature to seal the outside and create a crunchy breading while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
