Milanesa

We're going to start with the best of the best!

What can I say about this quintessential Argentine dish? It's perfect. It tastes fantastic. And every Argentine loves it.

Milanesa is Argentina's version of schnitzel aka breaded veal... except that it tastes MUCH better!

Try it out!

You will need:

(Serves 4)

8 Veal scallopini - at least 2 per person.
3 Large Eggs
4 Large cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons of parsley
1/4 cup of milk
Bread crumbs
Salt & Pepper
Veg. Oil

1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk.
2. Finely mince the garlic and parsley and add to the egg and milk mixture.
3. Salt and pepper the veal.. making sure to season them enough! Don't skimp! Add them to the egg and milk mixture. Let that rest for about half an hour in the fridge.
4. In a large deep dish, spread out your bread crumbs. Place veal on breadcrumbs and bread each side of the veal thoroughly (press breadcrumbs into the veal on BOTH sides). Set aside on a plate.
5. When all your veal is breaded, fill a frying pan with about 1/2 inch of veggie oil and heat it up.
6. Take a small piece of veal and test the oil.. make sure it fries instantly.
7. Keep the heat at medium. It should take no longer than a minute or two to cook each side.
8. Place on a plate with paper towel.
9. Serve!

You can serve Milanesa with french fries, mash potatoes, a nice tomato salad, or just about anything.

Enjoy!
