METHOD
Milanese
- Using a rolling pin or meat mallet, flatten the cutlets until 5 mm thick.
- In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, herbs, and garlic, season to taste.
- Beat the eggs in separate bowl until combined, season to taste.
- Place the flour in another bowl to create a crumbing station, season to taste.
- Working with one piece at a time, coat in the flour, dip in the egg, allowing any excess to dip off, and then coat into breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Preheat a gourmet oven dish or large frying pan on medium-high, induction setting 7, for 4 minutes.
- Place the olive oil and butter in the dish and allow to melt and bubble slightly. Add the veal and cook for 3 minutes each side, or until crisp and golden. Alternatively, the Milanese can be cooked on TempControl level 2.
- Place on paper towel to remove excess oil.
Charred lettuce
- Preheat the gourmet oven dish on medium-high heat, induction setting 7, for 5 minutes.
- Lightly brush the flat surface of the lettuce with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place flat side down in the oven dish and leave (do not touch) for 3-4 minutes.
Anchovy vinaigrette
- Place all ingredients except the shallot and oil into a mortar and pestle and crush until a creamy mixture has been created.
- Transfer the anchovy mixture to a bowl and add the shallot, combine well.
- Using a whisk, slowly pour in the olive oil, while whisking until the vinaigrette thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve
- Serve the Milanese with the charred lettuce, vinaigrette and lemon wedges. Sprinkle a little flaked salt over the Milanese.
