Vitello alla Milanese

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the veal

Pound the veal chops to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2

Breading process

Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and bread crumbs in a third. Dredge each veal chop in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.

3

Cook the veal

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the breaded veal chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

4

Prepare the arugula topping

In a bowl, toss arugula with lemon zest. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

5

Serve

Place the cooked veal chops on plates. Top with the lemon-scented arugula and serve immediately.
