Ingredients
- 4 large (6 to 7 ounces) veal cutlets
- Waxed paper
- 1 cup flour
- Salt and pepper
- 2 eggs
- A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup cracker meal, found near bread crumbs or at fish counter in market
- Butter, for frying
- Whole nutmeg
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Cover work surface with a sheet of waxed paper. Arrange cutlets with a few inches between them on paper. Top work surface with a second sheet of waxed paper. Pound cutlets out to 1/4-inch thick using bottom of a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over moderate heat.
Step 3: Set veal aside and set up 3 disposable pie tins and a plate in a row. Place flour in 1 disposable tin and season with salt and pepper. In the second disposable tin, beat eggs with a drizzle of oil and season with salt. In the third disposable tin, pour out about 1 cup of cracker meal.
Step 4: Bread veal in flour. Coat the veal evenly with eggs on both sides. Gently press veal into cracker meal and rest coated cutlets on a plate. Add a drizzle of oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to the skillet.
Step 5: When butter foams, add 2 pieces of veal and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown all over. Remove to warm plate and grate a little nutmeg over hot schnitzel. Repeat with remaining 2 veal cutlets. Garnish veal with parsley and serve with 2 lemon wedges.
