- 4Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup giardiniera (hot pickled vegetables), drained
- 4 veal cutlets (5 to 6 oz. each)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- A few grates nutmeg
- EVOO or vegetable oil, for shallow frying
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 ciabatta rolls, halved
- Green-leaf lettuce leaves
Preparation
Using a food processor, pulse-chop the giardiniera into a relish.
Pound the veal very thin (about 1/8 inch) and season with salt and pepper. Fill 3 separate shallow dishes with the flour, the eggs and the breadcrumbs seasoned with the nutmeg. Coat the veal with the flour, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs.
Heat a layer of oil in a large skillet. Add the veal and cook over medium heat, turning once, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on a rack.
Wipe out the pan; return to the heat. Add the butter and allow it to foam. Stir in the garlic for a minute. Add the parsley and lemon juice; remove from the heat.
Pile the roll bottoms with the giardiniera, lettuce, schnitzels, garlic butter and roll tops.
