4 boneless veal shoulder chops, no more than 1-inch thick

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 beaten eggs

1 cup bread crumbs

1/2 cup grated cheese, Parmigiano or Romano

1/2 teaspoon ground or grated nutmeg

Olive oil, for frying

3 vine ripe tomatoes, chopped

1/2 small to medium yellow skinned onion, chopped – about 1/2 cup

1 cup basil leaves, torn or shredded

A drizzle extra-virgin olive oil

Coarse salt

1/2 lemon, cut into wedges

Pound chops between waxed paper with small heavy skillet to 1/4-inch thickness. Chops will be about 10 inches wide each. Season chops with salt and pepper. Set up an assembly line: a dish of flour, a shallow dish with beaten egg, a plate with bread crumbs combined with cheese and nutmeg.

Add a thin layer of oil to a very large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the first 2 pieces of veal. Cook 3 minutes on each side until evenly golden. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat with remaining veal. This dish is fine served at room temperature. Do not put cooked veal in a warm oven or you will dry it out. Also, do not cover the platter with foil it will trap steam and make the cutlets soggy. The reason this dish is perfect for small dinner parties is because it is very tasty eaten at room temperature and because the sauce is raw and cold. You never have to rush your guests to their seats.

Combine tomatoes, onions, and basil and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season the raw sauce with coarse salt, to taste. Transfer to a small bowl and set on platter with veal. Garnish platter with lemon wedges.

Top veal with a little squeeze of lemon juice and raw sauce and enjoy.

I used Chicken
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

and it was good. I hate veal! I would use red onion instead of yellow and I added lemon to the sauce.

Great with chicken!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I don't do the whole veal thing, so I made this with chicken instead. It was very tasty. I would recommend making sure you... don't put too much EVOO in with the tomatoes because it makes the meat a little soggy. Other than that, delicious!Read more

Yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used this recipe with chicken breast, and it was very tasty. Instead of the tomatos, I served it with penne with Michael... Chiarello's marinara sauce and olives. It turned out very good and my family loved it.Read more

Outstanding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I actually substituted turkey cutlets for the veal (a little pricey for me). I did everything else by the letter. It was... awesome, and my family loved it! It is important to use the fresh basil. This makes the topping the best! Meal ready in 20 minutes. I topped my finished product with a little parmesan.Read more
