    Veal Chop Milanese with Tomato and Basil Vinaigrette

    Recipe courtesy Michael Lomanaco. All rights reserved.

    Ingredients:

    4 rib veal chops, pounded to a thin paillard or cutlet with bone still attached
    1 cup flour
    3 eggs
    1/4 cup milk
    2 Tbs. pure olive oil plus 1/3 cup for sauteing
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
    1-1/2 cups breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan
    Tomato Basil Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

    Preparation:

    Make your own breadcrumbs by trimming the crust from a whole loaf of bread, pinching the bread off and processing in a food processor. These taste and cook much better than the packaged bread crumbs.

    Pound veal chops (or have the butcher do this ahead of time) to a 1/4" thin and broad cutlet, leaving the bone still attached. Set aside while you prepare the breading setup. Place 1 cup flour on a dish large enough to dredge the veal on. Combine 3 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper in a large bowl or dish with sides high enough to hold the liquid and veal chops.

    Combine 1-1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped parsley and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan in a large flat casserole so that the process of breading may be kept neat and tidy.

    Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the veal cutlets one at a time (or if they're small enough, 2 at a time) for approximately 3 minutes on each side. As you saute the veal, brown one side and keep the veal warm in a 250-degree oven while the rest are cooking. Serve with a generous spoonful of the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette over the top.

    Servings: 4 to 6 portions

    Ingredients for Tomato-Basil Vinaigrette:

    Ingredients:

    1 large beefsteak tomato, about 3/4 to 1 pound, seeds removed and cut into 1/2" dice
    8 to 10 basil leaves, hand-shredded
    3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    Arugula

    Preparation:

    Make the tomato vinaigrette by combining the diced tomato with shredded basil leaves in a bowl. Stir in lemon juice. Whisk in extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

    Lay the veal on a plate, place the arugula on the side and top with the Tomato-Basil Vinaigrette.
