3. Tips for Italian Veal Escalope Simply Delicious to Prepare
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.
A breaded veal escalope is a Wiener schnitzel.
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!

4. Escalope Knocking Makes the Meat Tender
The unbreaded cutlet is usually just gently pounded or plated. Plating is the gentle way of pounding the cutlet and is done with a smooth plating iron or meat plater.
However, you can also use a saucepan.
The normal cutlet beater has a texture, by beating the meat is “chopped” depending on the intensity of the blow.
The meat structure is broken up, so to speak, and the schnitzel is later soft.
For veal cutlets “natural”, I recommend a cutlet from the back of veal or a cutlet from the topside, this meat is soft even without beating, or light plating is sufficient for a very good result.
I like to use a cast iron pan for frying cutlets, 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 while frying, both aromatics add additional subtle flavor to the preparation.
Your meat is virtually making an infusion of herbs 🙂
The Schnitzel Italian is a blast, a quick and delicious option!
Minute cook recommendation from Thomas Sixt
5. Fry Veal Escalope Optimally and Prepare Sauce
The cooking time of the veal escalope depends on the thickness of the meat. A thin cutlet (0.5 cm) roasted at high heat is cooked in about 2 minutes per side.
A thicker cutlet (1 cm) requires 2-4 minutes on each side. Cooking test: raw meat yields softly when pressed, cooked meat yields firmly.
About the sauce: in my recipe I show a quick sauce with martini, white wine and chicken broth.
Combined with capers, olives, garlic and butter it creates a sensational flavor, strong, with a pleasant sweetness.
You can also make the sauce with a store-bought or homemade veal stock.
Boil down the veal stock from the jar to half, mix the sauce with cold butter and season this sauce with pepper and some dark chocolate.
The veal escalope without breading is a treat for the palate and a diet dish served without carbohydrates!
