Messicani Alla Milanese Veal Rolls Milan 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.

MESSICANI ALLA MILANESE (VEAL ROLLS MILAN-STYLE)

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.

• Gently pound cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of meat pounder or with rolling pin. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.

• Heat butter and 2 tablespoons oil in large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, until foam subsides. Sauté chops in 2 batches (without crowding) until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined platter and keep warm.
• Toss arugula with vinegar in large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and remaining 6 tablespoons oil and toss well. Serve chops with salad and mustard.
