Veal Milanese

Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Veal Milanese is a coated veal thin boneless scallopine style or can be made with a bone-in veal chop form coated and sauteed in butter..


The veal is seasoned in a flour and eggs batter coating then sauteed perfectly.


Of course, if you aren't fond of veal, you can use pork or chicken in its place to substitute and still get these delicious flavors.


This fork-tender veal is so tender and melts in your mouth in every bite.


ALthough can serve with a light side dish of sliced tomato Caprese Salad, we prefer a side of Pasta Aioli with Broccoli with our meal.


I loved the addition of red pepper flakes on top to give this dish a little heat also, not in the authentic recipe.

Some Veal Milanese History



This dish is very similar to the Weiner Schnitzel, its Austrian counterpart. .


The main difference is that Veal Milanese is made using a bone-in cutlet while Weiner Schnitzel is made from a boneless cutlet that has been pounded flat, however, I adapted the recipe for either style.


There have been many stories along the way about who first created this marvelous meal including some time in 1134 a royal disagreement between two branches of the Hapsburg dynasty that included the Austrians and Italians, made both claims they invented the dish.

That was the first recorded mention of Veal Milanese in European history.


Sometime in the 19th century, a cook from Milanese went to Vienna and it has been written introduced veal to the country of Austria so maybe that solves the mystery.
