Method

Veal Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Start by taking the veal scaloppine and flatten them slightly between two sheets of plastic wrap using a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Season and Bread the Veal

    In a shallow dish, mix flour with salt and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs. Dredge each piece of veal in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Fry the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded veal for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Sauce and Topping

  1. 4

    Make the Tomato Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, layer half of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Place the fried veal on top, then add the remaining sauce. Tear the fior di latte cheese into pieces and distribute evenly over the veal. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Rapini

  1. 7

    Prepare the Rapini

    While the veal is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rapini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.

  2. 8

    Sauté the Rapini

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Drain the rapini and add it to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, seasoning with salt to taste.
