Ingredients
  • For the meat
  • 2.2 lb (1 kg) veal ribs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • For the coating
  • 2 pcs egg
  • 5.29 oz (150 g) breadcrumbs
  • For frying
  • 5.29 oz (150 g) butter
  • To serve
  • 1 pcs lemon

Description

1. Trim the bones of the veal chops a little, then pound the meaty part between cling film to about 1 cm thick, keeping the bone attached; season lightly with salt.

2. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt in a shallow dish and spread the breadcrumbs on another plate.

3. Dip the chops first in the egg, then press them into the breadcrumbs; repeat once more for a thick, even coating.

4. Melt the butter in a wide frying pan and heat it until foaming but not yet browning.

5. Fry the chops over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is deep golden and the meat still juicy inside; drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle lightly with salt.

6. Serve with lemon wedges, rocket and halved cherry tomatoes.

Tip: The difference from Wiener Schnitzel: here it's a bone-in chop, a double egg-and-crumb coating without flour, and it's fried in butter, not oil.
