Directions
Traditionally it is a slice of bone-in veal loin, breaded and fried in butter that should also be poured over the schnitzel at the end, as modern versions tend to avoid this last step and find lighter variations such as squeezing a lemon before serving. Over the years also the height of the cut of meat has been subject to variation. Lately, in fact, it is more frequent to find a thinner and boneless version, in which the meat is beaten until it becomes very thin – this version oreggia d’elefant (elephant’s ear) because of its shape.

Start by flouring the veal slices, then dip them in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing them well. If you wish to obtain a thicker and crispier breading, dip them a second time in the egg and breadcrumbs. |
