Breaded Veal Scallopini recipe

Ingredients :

• 2/3 lb veal, scallopini
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup breadcrumbs, plain
• 1 tbsp fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• ½ tspn garlic powder
• ½ tspn onion powder
• 3 tbsp Romano cheese
• salt & pepper, to taste
• 1½ tspn butter, divided
• olive oil, for frying

Preparation and Cooking Instructions :

1. Prepare the veal scallopini about an hour before you want to fry them to allow time for the coating to adhere.
2. Put mayonnaise into a small bowl.
3. In a medium bowl, put the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic and onion powders, and the Romano cheese. Mix well and add salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Place 1 piece of veal on a large piece of wax paper. Using a butter knife, spread a thin coating of the mayonnaise on one side. Press in some of the bread crumb mixture, turn over, and spread on more mayonnaise. Press in more crumbs and then place the breaded veal scallopini on a wax-paper lined dinner plate. Dump the crumbs that are on the wax paper back into the medium bowl and continue with the rest of the veal. Refrigerate until time to fry.
5. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
6. In a large frying pan, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil with a third of the butter over medium heat.
7. When hot, add a third of the veal scallopini and pan-fry for 2 minutes, turning when the bottom is brown.
8. Continue to cook on the other side for another 2 minutes and then drain on paper towels.
9. Put on an aluminum-foil coated cookie sheet in the oven to keep warm until all of the veal is fried.
