Description

Veal cutlet Parmesan is an Italian restaurant staple, my version spices it up a little by adding the heat of red pepper flakes to traditional marinara sauce. Notice this version is not layered as most homemade versions but is made restaurant style (single scaloppini topped with sauce, Parmesan, and Provolone rather than mozzarella).

Ingredients

  • 8 whole 2-ounce Veal Cutlets, Scaloppini Style (pounded To 1/8-inch Thickness)
  • ½ cups Flour
  • 4 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • 1-½ cup Italian Dry Bread Crumbs
  • 8 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cups Spicy Marinara Sauce (recipe Below)
  • ¾ cups Grated Good Parmesan Cheese
  • 8 slices Provolone Cheese (about 6 Ounces Total)
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Italian Flat Leaved Parsley, For Garnish
  • Kosher Or Sea Salt, To Taste
  • Freshly Grated Black Pepper, To Taste
  • _____
  • FOR THE SPICY MARINARA SAUCE:
  • 3 cups Store Bought Marinara Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Tablespoons Dry Basil
  • ½ Tablespoons Dry Oregano
  • ⅛ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes

Preparation

1. Preheat the broiler of an oven and place the oven rack 10″ from the heating element.
2. Season the pounded veal cutlets lightly with salt and pepper. In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer all of the sauce ingredients for about 20 minutes.
3. Build a breading station by placing flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes and working with one scaloppini at a time, dredge it in the flour, the eggs, and the bread crumbs and transfer the breaded scallopini to a dish.
4. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded scallopini, 2 at a time, turning once with tongs, until each side is golden brown, about 3 minutes; and wiping out the frying pan and adding fresh oil between. Either transfer scallopini to large baking platter or to individual, oven proof plates.
5. Once all the scallopini have been fried and placed in your baking dish, top each scallopini with 1⁄3 cup of the marinara sauce, sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and one or more slices of provolone cheese.
6. Place the scallopini under the broiler until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Dress each plate with some of the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
