Veal Cutlet

• Veal cutlets are often breaded and pan-fried to create classic dishes like Wiener Schnitzel or veal Milanese. The breading adds a crispy texture that contrasts beautifully with the tender veal.- Veal cutlets can be gently sautéed in butter or olive oil with herbs and garlic for a simple and elegant main course, served with a pan sauce made from wine or lemon juice.- Veal cutlets are also suitable for braising, allowing them to become incredibly tender and absorb the flavors of the braising liquid. This method is ideal for tougher or thicker cutlets.- They can be grilled or pan-seared quickly over high heat to achieve a nicely browned exterior while retaining a juicy interior, and are often served with a simple sauce, such as a mushroom or cream reduction.- Veal cutlets, when pounded thin, can be rolled and stuffed with various fillings like prosciutto, cheese, and herbs, then baked or pan-fried for a flavorful and impressive presentation.- Thin veal cutlets are frequently used in layered Italian dishes like Veal Saltimbocca, where they are topped with prosciutto and sage, then cooked in white wine.

Veal cutlets are highly perishable and should be stored properly to maintain their quality. Ideally, cook veal cutlets within 1-2 days of purchase. Store them in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally in a meat drawer. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container to prevent cross-contamination and moisture loss. For longer storage, veal can be frozen. Wrap each cutlet individually in freezer-safe plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag, pressing out any excess air. Frozen veal cutlets can maintain quality for up to 9-12 months.
