Veal Chop Saltimbocca Milanese Style Recipes

VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F.
• In a shallow dish, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour flour into another shallow dish. Mix together the bread crumbs, basil and thyme in a third shallow dish. Have ready one large plate.
• Season the veal with salt and pepper. Working with 1 piece of veal at a time, dip it first in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, place the floured veal into the beaten eggs, coating completely. Place the veal into the bread crumb mixture and gently press crumbs into the veal. Set aside on large plate and continue with remaining veal slices.
• In a large skillet with high sides, heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Have ready a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Carefully place 2 pieces of breaded veal in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Place cooked veal on rack, season with salt and place in oven to keep warm. Continue with remaining veal.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

VEAL CHOP SALTIMBOCCA

Steps:

• Place the veal chops on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Place a slice of lemon on top of each chop. Top with one sage leaf. Lay a piece of prosciutto on each chop and press to seal.
• Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the veal chops in the hot oil, lemon-side up, and cook for 6 minutes. Turn the chops over and cook until the prosciutto starts to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Add the white wine to the skillet and deglaze over high heat, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir until combined and hot. Pour some of the sauce over each veal chop and top with the remaining teaspoon of finely chopped sage. Serve immediately.
