VEAL PARMIGIANA
A classic New York dish - tender escalopes layered up with tomato sauce and mozzarella, then baked in the oven to gratinate. Heaven.

Steps:
- Italian immigrants brought this dish to America, and since then veal parmigiana has become a classic New York dish, and rightly so. I love it when it's layered up like this, with the tomato sauce and cheese, then baked in the oven to gratinate. Feel free to swap veal for pork leg or even chicken that's been battered out. If you want to spike this with a bit of extra flavour you could also add a few capers or olives to the tomato sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Pick the leaves off the sprigs of basil and put them into a small bowl of water to keep them fresh. Finely chop the tender stalks. Put a pan on a medium heat and add a splash of olive oil, the chopped basil stalks, garlic and anchovies and cook for a few minutes. Prick the chilli a few times and add it to the pan. Allow everything to sizzle for a minute or so, then pour in the tinned tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
- Meanwhile, prepare your escalopes. Mix the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the thyme leaves and Parmesan. Finely grate your lemon zest into the breadcrumbs, mix again, then lay out three plates in front of you. Put the flour on one and season it with salt and pepper, pour the eggs on to the next plate and put the herby breadcrumbs on the third. Dip the escalopes, one at a time, into the flour until well coated. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg. Let the extra egg drip off, then lay the escalope in the breadcrumb mixture. Sprinkle a handful of crumbs over the top and press them down. Make a real point of getting breadcrumbs on to every part of the escalope.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a good splash of olive oil. Let it heat up a bit, then add your escalopes. If your pan isn't big enough, you may have to cook them in batches, adding a little extra oil if needed. Cook for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. Get yourself a snug-fitting, appropriately sized baking dish (approx. 30 x 20cm) and spread the tomato sauce in the dish. Lay your escalopes on top, side by side. Tear the buffalo mozzarella into pieces and dot these over the dish with a few basil leaves.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden, bubbling and deliciously cooked. Sprinkle the rest of the basil leaves over. Perfect with a crunchy zingy salad, but in America they'd also serve it with things like spaghetti, rice or mashed potatoes, polenta or crusty bread.

VEAL PARMIGIANA
From my room mate Margaret in 1962. I still have the typed recipe on the 3 index cards she gave me. On the card it says a good source of Vitamins A, B, and C. On the card, I wrote it takes me 1 1/2 to 2 hours to fix, but then I was a new cook, and very slow. This is quite delicious.

CHICKEN OR VEAL PARMIGIANA
A hard grating cheese is a must when it comes to the breading mixture for this chicken or veal Parmigiana, but Parmesan isn't the only option-we like a salty, robust Pecorino Romano.

Steps:
- Bread and fry the cutlets: Combine breadcrumbs, Pecorino Romano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some pepper. Put flour, eggs, and breadcrumb mixture in 3 separate dishes. Dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Dredge in breadcrumbs to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. (Oil is ready when a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.) Working in batches, fry cutlets until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. (If oil gets too dirty, discard, and heat an additional 1/4 cup.)
- Assemble the dish: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread 3/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange a single layer of cutlets on top. Top with 1 cup sauce, covering each piece. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Pecorino Romano. Cover with foil. Bake until bubbling, about 10 minutes. Uncover; bake until cheese melts, about 2 minutes more.

ULTIMATE VEAL PARMIGIANA
I had never fixed veal, for some reason I always thought it was difficult, but this recipe proved me wrong. It's fairly simple, and delicious. I don't remember where I got this one from, but I think I've had it for awhile. I know I've made it, and since I kept it, it must have been good.

VEAL PARMIGIANA
Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, salt and pepper in a pie plate. Set aside. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and water. Set aside. On a plate, spread the all-purpose flour. Coat the veal scallops with the flour and shake off the excess. Dip in the egg mixture and then coat with the bread crumb mixture, patting with your fingers to make the crumbs adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the veal and saute until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, turn the cutlets and cook, 2 to 3 minutes more, adding a little more oil if the pan looks dry. Remove veal scallops to a plate and blot with paper towels.
- Lightly oil a flameproof baking pan or shallow baking dish. Spoon into the pan 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Arrange the veal scallops over the sauce, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Cover with the remaining tomato sauce. Top with the mozzarella slices and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 20 to 30 minutes. If you wish to brown the top, remove the foil and run the dish briefly under a broiler.
VEAL PICCATA WITH ANGEL HAIR AND PARMIGIANA-REGGIANO
Piccata is a classic Milanese veal preparation, where the veal is quickly sauteed and served with a pan sauce made of stock, lemon juice, capers, and parsley. We've added wine to our sauce, which gives the dish extra zest. If you can't find veal in your area, use thinly pounded boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead. For this preparation, thin veal cutlets are pounded to 1/4-inch thickness for a quick cooking time that preserves the meat's natural tenderness and flavor.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring to separate the strands of pasta, until just al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the basil, and the cheese and toss to coat. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the black pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Lightly season both sides of each medallion with 1/8 teaspoon of the remaining salt and a pinch of the remaining pepper. One at a time, dredge the medallions in the seasoned flour, shaking to remove any excess.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the medallions in batches and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Add the wine to the juices remaining in the pan and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan, and cook until the wine is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, capers, and garlic and return to a boil, stirring, until the mixture is thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. When the butter is melted, return all of the veal medallions to the pan and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
- To serve, divide the pasta among 4 large plates and arrange 2 veal medallions on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the veal and garnish each serving with 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining parsley. Serve immediately.
VEAL HAMBURGER PARMICIANO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Warm the marinara sauce in a small pot over low heat. Combine the veal, 1/4 cup of the grated cheese, the parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Mix with your hands, and shape into four oblong patties (that will fit on your rolls) about 1 inch thick. Spread the flour and bread crumbs on two shallow, rimmed plates, and beat the eggs with the remaining salt in a shallow bowl.
- Pour 1/2 inch vegetable oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the patties in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten egg, letting the excess drip back in the bowl. Press the patties into the bread crumbs to coat both sides. When the oil is hot, carefully slide the patties into the oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. (You will know the patties are cooked through when you press on one and no more juice comes out.) Drain the cooked patties on paper towels.
- Lay the rolls open on a large baking sheet while still hot. Place a patty on the bottom half of each roll, and spread each patty with about 1/3 cup marinara, keeping the remaining marinara warm for serving.
- Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup grated cheese over the marinara on the patties, then top each with 2 basil leaves. Evenly distribute the sliced mozzarella over the leaves. Bake until bread is toasted and cheese is melted and browned on top, about 10 minutes. Serve with additional warm marinara for dipping.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal cutlets. Look for veal that is pale pink in color and has a fine grain. Avoid veal that is dark red or has a coarse grain, as this indicates that the animal was older and the meat will be tougher.
- Pound the veal cutlets thin. This will help them cook evenly and tenderize the meat.
- Dredge the veal cutlets in flour. This will help the egg wash and breadcrumbs adhere to the meat.
- Use a beaten egg wash. This will help the breadcrumbs stick to the veal cutlets.
- Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the veal cutlets. This will help them stay on during cooking.
- Pan-fry the veal cutlets until golden brown. This will create a crispy crust and help seal in the juices.
- Top the veal cutlets with tomato sauce and cheese. Use a good quality tomato sauce and a flavorful cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan.
- Bake the veal cutlets until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Serve the veal cutlets hot. They can be served with a side of pasta, rice, or vegetables.
