1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 pounds thinly sliced veal scallopine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups vegetable oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 thin slices veal, about one and one-half pounds, cut as for scaloppine
1/4 cup chopped prosciutto or cooked ham
1/2 pound ground lean pork
1 teaspoon, plus 3 tablespoons, butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste, if desired
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup fresh or canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Put the slices of veal between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a flat mallet without breaking the tissues. Set aside.
  • Combine the prosciutto and pork in a mixing bowl.
  • Heat one teaspoon of the butter in a small skillet and cook the onion, stirring, until it is wilted. Add this to the mixing bowl. Add the garlic, bread crumbs, nutmeg, pepper, lemon rind, egg and cheese. Blend well.
  • Lay out the pieces of veal in one layer on a flat surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon an equal portion of the filling on each slice. Wrap the meat around the filling, folding and tucking the ends in envelope fashion. Tie each bundle neatly in two places with string. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge the bundles all over in flour and shake off excess.
  • Select a heavy skillet large enough to hold the rolls, without crowding, in one layer. Heat the remaining three tablespoons of butter and, when it is quite hot but not browned, add the bundles. Cook, turning the bundles occasionally, until they are nicely browned all over, about three or four minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking over moderately low heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the chicken broth. Bring to the boil and let cook over high heat about five minutes. Remove the strings and serve.

Categories     Egg     Tomato     Sauté     Veal     Arugula

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 rib veal chops, trimmed, bones still attached
Salt and pepper
3 large eggs
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups fresh breadcrumbs (from 8 slices firm white sandwich bread)
8 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 bunch fresh arugula, torn into small pieces (about 1 cup)
6 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges, or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Gently pound cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of meat pounder or with rolling pin. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Beat together eggs and garlic in large shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in another large shallow bowl. Dip veal, 1 piece at a time, in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to coat completely. Repeat with remaining pieces of veal.
  • Heat butter and 2 tablespoons oil in large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, until foam subsides. Sauté chops in 2 batches (without crowding) until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined platter and keep warm.
  • Toss arugula with vinegar in large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and remaining 6 tablespoons oil and toss well. Serve chops with salad and mustard.

Tips:

  • To ensure the veal rolls stay intact during cooking, use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure them tightly.
  • For a crispy and golden-brown crust, make sure the butter and oil are sizzling hot before adding the veal rolls.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the veal rolls. Thicker rolls may require a few extra minutes in the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the veal rolls. The ideal temperature for medium-rare is 135°F (57°C).
  • Serve the veal rolls immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Messicani alla Milanese, also known as veal rolls Milanese style, is a classic Italian dish that combines tender veal, aromatic herbs, and a crispy breadcrumb coating. Follow these tips to ensure success in making this delicious dish: choose high-quality veal, pound it thin for even cooking, and season it generously with herbs and spices.
