1. Prepare Veal Escalope like in Italy
In general, you can prepare a veal escalope in natural or breaded form. Both variations are good, just note that it makes a big difference during preparation whether you put your schnitzel “naturally” in the pan or breaded. My Italian veal escalope is a natural escalope and is prepared with capers, olives and martini. I think the Italian and Mediterranean “impact” is good to recognize and will please you.My recipe is Mediterranean and summery!
2. Simply prepare the Veal Escalope
The unplated cossette is usually only gently beaten or plated. Plating is the gentle method of pulp beating and is done with a smooth plating iron or meat plater. You can also use a saucepan. The normal Schnitzelklopfer has a structure, through the knocking, the meat is “chopped up” according to blow intensity. The meat structure is broken open, so to speak, and the schnitzel is later soft. For veal escalope natural I recommend you a escalope of veal back or topside, this meat is also soft without tapping, or light plating is sufficient for a very good result.
3. Veal Escalope natural without Breadcrumbs
The escalope is usually lightly plated, seasoned with salt and pepper shortly before roasting and then fried in clarified butter, sunflower oil or coconut oil. I like to use a cast pan for the schnitzel roast, because the heat in this pan is much higher than in a coated pan. You can add a clove of garlic and a sprig of thyme or rosemary when you fry the veal escalope. Both aromatics give the escalope an extra fine taste.The schnitzel Italian is a taste firework and a delicious variation!
4. Breaded Veal Escalope
The classic is the Viennese Escalope – Wiener Schnitzel, breaded with flour, egg and breadcrumbs. Another variation is the veal escalope Parisian style. First season the beaten schnitzel, turn it in flour, then pull it through a beaten egg (refined with a little cream, salt, pepper, a little paprika) and then immediately float it in the pan, baked with plenty of fat. The Wiener Schnitzel recipe is explained in detail elsewhere. I’ll be happy if you cook it up and get a good schnitzel on your plate.
5. Veal Escalope Cooking Time
The cooking time of the veal escalope depends on the meat thickness. A thin schnitzel (0.5 cm) is roasted at high heat, cooked in approx. 2 minutes per side. A thicker schnitzel (1 cm) takes 2-4 minutes on each side. Cooking test: raw meat yields softly when pressed, cooked meat yields firmly.6. Veal Escalope with Sauce
In my recipe I show a quick sauce with martini, white wine and chicken broth. In combination with capers, olives, garlic and butter a sensational taste develops, strong, with a pleasant sweetness. You can also prepare the sauce with a bought or homemade veal stock. Halve the veal stock from the glass, mix the sauce with cold butter and season with pepper and some dark chocolate.
