Veal Cutlets With Tomato And Basil Sauce Recipes

VEAL CUTLETS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper; dust with flour to coat lightly. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juices, basil, parsley, oregano and dried red pepper. Bring sauce to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until flavors blend and sauce thickens slightly, scraping up browned bits, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange cutlets atop sauce. Top each with cheese. Cover; simmer until veal is tender and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

VEAL CHOP MILANESE WITH TOMATO AND BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Pound the veal (or have the butcher do this ahead of time) to a 1/4-inch thin and broad cutlet, leaving the bone still attached. Set aside while you prepare the breading setup. Put the flour on a dish large enough to dredge the veal on. Combine the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper in a large bowl or dish with sides high enough to hold the liquid and veal chops.
• Next, combine the bread crumbs, parsley and Parmesan cheese in a large flat casserole so that the process of breading may be kept neat and tidy.
• Make the tomato vinaigrette by combining the diced tomato with the shredded basil leaves in a bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the 1/3 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the veal cutlets one at a time, or if they are small enough and your pan is large enough, two at a time. As you saute the veal, brown one side and keep the veal warm in a 250 degree oven while the rest are cooked. Serve the veal with a generous spoonful of the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette over the top.
