Method

Preparation of Veal

  1. 1

    Pound the Veal

    Pound the veal cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This will ensure they cook evenly and become tender.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Season both sides of the cutlets with salt and black pepper to taste.

Breading Setup

  1. 3

    Flour Setup

    Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish.

  2. 4

    Egg Setup

    In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.

  3. 5

    Breadcrumb Mixture

    In a third dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Breading Process

  1. 6

    Flour Dredging

    Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 7

    Egg Dipping

    Dip the floured cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.

  3. 8

    Breadcrumb Coating

    Coat the cutlet with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.

Cooking Veal

  1. 9

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 10

    Fry Cutlets

    Carefully add the breaded veal cutlets to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 11

    Drain Cutlets

    Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 12

    Chop Garlic and Green Onions

    Finely chop the garlic cloves and green onions.

  2. 13

    Sauté Garlic

    In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 14

    Add Green Onions

    Add the green onions and sauté for another 2 minutes until softened.

  4. 15

    Finish Sauce

    Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
