VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the veal: To pound the veal chops, line a cutting board with plastic wrap and place a chop on top. Place another piece of plastic wrap over the chop making sure it's completely covered. Use a meat mallet to pound the veal evenly, making sure the middle and the edges are the same size, about 1/2 inch in thickness. Remove plastic from the top and set the pounded chop aside; repeat with the rest of the chops.
• Set up 3 shallow baking dishes, one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and the third with the breadcrumbs, parsley and Parmesan. Season the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs generously with salt and pepper. Season each veal chop with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge a chop in the flour. Shake off any excess flour and then dip it into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Once the chop is in the breadcrumbs, use your hand to scoop the crumbs up and over the meat and press to make sure it adheres and evenly coats the chop. Repeat the breading procedure with the remaining chops.
• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup blended oil. When the oil is hot, add two of the breaded chops to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown, then turn the chops gently with tongs and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side. Lower the heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is almost brown, drizzle the juice of 1 lemon into the pan and over the crisp veal. Remove the chops and place them on a sheet pan. Drizzle the pan drippings over the veal. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup oil, remaining veal chops, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining lemon juice.
• For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the fennel, radishes, olives and tomatoes. Toss with a few spoonfuls of vinaigrette. Add the arugula just before serving and toss again.
• To serve: Place a veal chop on a serving plate and add some salad on top. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and some Parmesan shavings. Repeat with remaining veal, salad and Parmesan and serve.

VEAL CUTLETS ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• With the point of a knife, remove any connective tissue from the chop edges and optional: flatten with a meat tenderizer.
• Beat eggs with a whisk or fork in a shallow bowl and add ground pepper if you like, but no salt. Place breadcrumbs in another bowl. Dip chops in the egg (keep the bone dry) and let any excess egg drip off. Dredge in breadcrumbs to coat entirely. Pat down the breadcrumbs well to ensure they stick to both sides.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until foamy. The pan should be large enough to hold the chops without overlap. Fry until golden brown. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side: baste them with butter, including the bone. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Seaon with salt to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Put the slices of veal between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a flat mallet without breaking the tissues. Set aside.
• Combine the prosciutto and pork in a mixing bowl.
• Heat one teaspoon of the butter in a small skillet and cook the onion, stirring, until it is wilted. Add this to the mixing bowl. Add the garlic, bread crumbs, nutmeg, pepper, lemon rind, egg and cheese. Blend well.
• Lay out the pieces of veal in one layer on a flat surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon an equal portion of the filling on each slice. Wrap the meat around the filling, folding and tucking the ends in envelope fashion. Tie each bundle neatly in two places with string. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge the bundles all over in flour and shake off excess.
• Select a heavy skillet large enough to hold the rolls, without crowding, in one layer. Heat the remaining three tablespoons of butter and, when it is quite hot but not browned, add the bundles. Cook, turning the bundles occasionally, until they are nicely browned all over, about three or four minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking over moderately low heat for about 15 minutes.
• Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the chicken broth. Bring to the boil and let cook over high heat about five minutes. Remove the strings and serve.
