Categories     Entree     Mains     Salads

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup flour
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus a little extra for shaving over the top
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 veal scallopini, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness, about 6 ounces each
about 1 cup vegetable oil
2 big handfuls of baby arugula
6 cherry tomatoes, cut into sixths
Some fresh basil leaves, if you have them on hand
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Place flour in one shallow bowl or pie plate and beaten egg in a second. Combine parmesan and breadcrumbs in third and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge veal in flour, then egg. Allow excess egg to drip off, then transfer to breadcrumbs. Turn to coat evenly, pressing crumbs so they adhere. Transfer scallopini to a large plate.
  • Add oil to a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering and corner of veal dipped in oil immediately starts bubbling. Carefully add one piece of veal to hot oil. Cook, swirling pan occasionally until golden brown on first side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully turn with tongs and cook until second side is golden brown, about 1 minute longer. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent oil from burning-veal should bubble steadily. Transfer veal to paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat with second veal scallopino
  • Toss arugula, tomatoes, basil and extra parmesan shavings in a medium bowl with olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve veal and salad immediately.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For salad:
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise (1/2 cup)
10 ounces baby arugula (5 cups)
1 cup packed basil leaves, torn into pieces
For veal chops:
6 (3/4- to 1-inch-thick) bone-in rib veal chops (4 to 5 pounds; see cooks' note, below)
4 cups fine fresh bread crumbs (from 10 slices firm white sandwich bread)
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Start salad:
  • Whisk together oil, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a large bowl until combined, then stir in tomatoes and onion.
  • Make Veal:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Gently pound chops (avoiding bone) to 1/8 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin.
  • Toast bread crumbs in a large 4-sided sheet pan in oven, stirring once or twice, until dry but not golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Stir crumbs together with cheese and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Sprinkle chops with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Put oil in another shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip each chop in oil, letting excess drip off, then dredge both sides of chop (and bone) in bread-crumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere. Transfer to baking sheet.
  • Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
  • Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through and golden brown and grill marks appear, about 8 minutes total.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 cups maitake mushrooms, separated into small pieces
Olive oil, for roasting and shallow-frying
Kosher salt and pepper
Kosher salt and pepper
4 (1 1/2-inch-thick) bone-in veal chops, Frenched, chine bone removed
Flour, for dredging
4 large free-range organic eggs
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 cup panko bread crumbs or homemade coarse bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
A little freshly grated nutmeg
2 lemons, halved and caramelized, or cut into wedges
Arugula Salad with Sage and White Balsamic Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1 small clove garlic, pasted
2 or 3 leaves fresh sage, very thinly sliced or mashed together with the garlic using a mortar and pestle
1 small shallot, grated (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons light honey (such as acacia)
1/3 cup EVOO
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
5 ounces arugula, baby kale, or a combination (6 cups)
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the separated pieces of maitake mushrooms onto a baking sheet and toss with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set a chop upright on a cutting board with the meaty side facing up. Using a thin sharp knife, cut into the meat and cut through the center, toward the bone. Stop short of the bone, then open up the meat like a book. Do not remove the meat from the bone; the bone itself will be at the center of the butterflied chop. Place the meat between sheets of parchment or plastic with a dab of water and gently and evenly pound the meat out with a meat mallet, flipping the meat a couple of times, until it's 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Set up a dredging station: Line up 3 shallow bowls on the counter. Spread flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and mix the fine bread crumbs, panko, Parm, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste in the third.
  • When the mushrooms are done, lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (leave the mushrooms in the oven). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set in the oven.
  • In large cast-iron skillet, heat about 1/4 inch oil over medium-high heat.
  • Coat the veal in flour and shake off the excess. Turn a chop in the egg, shaking off the excess, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Fry the chops, one at a time, until deep golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Keep the cutlets warm on the prepared baking sheet in the oven.
  • Serve the veal with lemon for squeezing and a side of mushrooms. Place the Arugula Salad with Sage and White Balsamic Vinaigrette under or on top of each cutlet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the garlic, sage, shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, and honey. Still whisking, stream in the EVOO to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper. Put the greens and tomatoes in a large serving bowl, add the dressing, and toss to coat.

VEAL MILANESE



Veal Milanese image

On a cold night in the winter of 2000, the formidable food reporter Amanda Hesser went with friends to Caffe Rosso in Greenwich Village. "I was in the mood for veal and red wine," she wrote in The Times a year later. "When the main courses came, the waiter set down my veal Milanese: a pounded chop as large as a frying pan, crusted with bread crumbs and smothered with a glistening mess of arugula and tomatoes. I squeezed lemon over the veal and set about carving. It was just what I was after: the tender meat was pounded paper-thin with fat on the edges and a thin, pebbly coating of bread crumbs. The peppery salad and lemon offered steady relief. But it left me with a single thought: to come back in the summer when arugula and tomatoes are in season." Then she gave us a recipe for the dish, perfect for summer, when arugula and tomatoes are in season. Go to!

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 eggs
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup flour
1 to 2 cups fine bread crumbs, made with stale, not toasted, country bread, crusts on
4 large handfuls arugula
2 small or 1 large very ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Juice of a lemon
4 veal chops with bones, pounded very thin, almost transparent (no thicker than a pie crust)
Corn oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese and parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper. Pour into a large, shallow bowl or tray. Spread flour in a second shallow bowl and bread crumbs in a third. Set aside near stove.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine arugula, tomatoes and onion. Sprinkle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt, and toss until leaves are coated. Dressing should be assertive and lemony. Set aside.
  • Working one at a time, press each veal chop into flour on each side, then pat it off so that there is just a fine dust on veal. Dip chop into egg, coating both sides, and letting as much drain off as possible. Lay chop in bread crumbs, tapping it gently to make sure it gets coated, but ever so thinly. Flip it over, and coat the other side. Layer chops between waxed paper or parchment as you go.
  • Heat oven to 175 degrees, and place a baking sheet on middle rack. Place a sauté pan large enough to fit 2 chops over medium-high heat. Pour in enough corn oil to generously cover base of pan. When oil shimmers (it should be very hot so the veal seizes immediately), add a chop and sauté until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown other side. Transfer to baking sheet, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with other chops.
  • To serve, place chops on each of four large plates. Place a large handful of salad on top of each, making sure each gets enough tomatoes and onion. Serve with a wedge of lemon, for squeezing over the meat.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality veal chops: Look for chops that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid chops that are excessively thin or have a lot of marbling.
  • Season the chops generously: Veal chops can handle bold flavors, so don't be shy with the salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to your desired doneness: Veal chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can make them tough and dry.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • Serve the chops with a simple arugula salad: The peppery flavor of the arugula will complement the richness of the veal chops perfectly.

Conclusion:

Veal chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can create a perfectly cooked veal chop that will impress your friends and family. Serve it with a simple arugula salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
