Crisp Veal Milanese, topped with Arugula Salad....

This is a truly spectacular dish, but if you thought that you had to go to a restaurant to have it, well, you are wrong.... And if you thought that the recipe for preparing it was difficult, well, you would be wrong again.....its actually quite easy to make, and so worth it! 

Try it tonight!

1 clove garlic or small shallot, minced

1

Put the veal chops on a cutting board and cover them with a large piece of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet, pound the meat to 1/4 inch thick.

Season the veal chops liberally with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour and shake off the excess, then dip them in egg mixture, and then in bread crumbs to coat.

Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the fat is hot add the veal chops and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain until ready to serve.

In a large mixing bowl combine the garlic or shallot, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil.

Add the arugula, tomatoes and gently toss together.
