Equipment

  • large frying pan

Ingredients
  

Veal

  • 8 oz veal cutlet

Breading Station

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten with ¼ cup milk or water
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup Romano cheese grated - or Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest one lemon

Cooking

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Veal

  • Using a meat hammer pound out the veal slices. Depending upon the size of the veal slices you may need to add two pieces together.
  • This is done by pounding out each piece then seaming them together by overlapping the pieces and pounding them out a little more.

Breading Station

  • Mix the flour, salt, and pepper together.
  • Lightly beat the two eggs with ¼ cup of milk or water for the eggwash.
  • Mix panko bread crumbs, romano cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, parsley, and lemon zest together until well blended.
  • Coat the veal cutlets with the seasoned flour. Then place them in the egg wash, and finally in the bread crumb mixture.
  • Make sure you get a good coating of each ingredient on the veal, completely coating them.

Cooking

  • Add ½ cup of vegetable oil to a large frying pan, then place it over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded veal cutlets into the pan and saute until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side)
  • Remove the cooked veal cutlets from the pan and place them on a wire rack to drain for one minute.
  • If you are cooking in batches and need to keep them warm, set your oven at 225 degrees and keep them on the wire rack in the oven until ready serve.
