Cotoletta Milanese
Cotoletta Milanese is a delicious Italian dish. It's a breaded and fried veal or beef cutlet, typically served with lemon wedges on the side. The meat is pounded thin, coated in breadcrumbs, and then fried until golden brown and crispy. It is often enjoyed with a side of salad, pasta, vegetables or potatoes.
Ingredients
- 4 veal or beef cutlets, about 1/2 inch thick, pound
- Salt and pepper to taste
- All-purpose flour for coating
- 2 eggs beaten
- Breadcrumbs for coating
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the veal or beef cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dredge the cutlets in flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
- Dip each cutlet into the beaten eggs, ensuring that they are fully coated.
- Next, coat the cutlets with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure they adhere well.
- Place the breaded cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the coating set.
- In a large frying pan, heat enough vegetable oil to shallow fry the cutlets over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets in the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
- Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Cotoletta Milanese hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the meat.
- Enjoy.
