Veal Chop Milanese with Arugula Salad

Ingredients:

4 bone-in veal chops, each 12 ounces

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 large eggs

2 cups panko bread crumbs

½ cup Pecorino Romano cheese

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 garlic clove, minced

Juice of 1 lemon

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 red onion, thinly sliced

3 cups arugula

1 cup goat cheese

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

12 fresh basil leaves

Directions:

1.  Put the veal chops on a cutting board and cover them with a large piece of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet, pound the meat to ¼ inch thick.

2.  Set up a breading station: In three separate bowls put the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs. Lightly whisk the eggs. Stir the Pecorino Romano cheese into the bread crumbs.

3.  Season the veal chops liberally with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour and shake off the excess, then dip them in egg, and then in bread crumbs to coat.

4.  Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. When the fat is hot add the veal chops and cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain until ready to serve.

5.  In a large mixing bowl combine the garlic, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the extra virgin olive oil. Add the onion, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

6.  Add the arugula, goat cheese, tomatoes, and basil to the dressing and gently toss together.

7.  To serve, place a veal chop in the center of each plate and top with salad.
