Cotoletta Alla Bolognese
The Cotoletta alla Bolognese is a recipe typical of the rich culinary tradition of Bologna. It is a very rich and substantial dish consisting of slices of veal, breaded and fried, then covered with ham and Parmesan cheese and put in a pan over low heat with a lid. The steam will soften the ham and melt the cheese, ending in a delicious result.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- salt
- 200 g breadcrumbs
- 400 g veal cutlets
- 100 g vegetable oil for frying
- 4 thin slices of ham
- 80 g Parmesan cut into thin strips
- 4 tablespoon hot tomato sauce
Instructions
- Beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Set up two plates: one with the beaten egg and one with the breadcrumbs.
- First, dip the veal in the egg, and then lay the veal on the breadcrumbs, covering both sides.
- In a large sauté pan, heat the oil until hot, then add the cutlets, making sure they do not overlap, and cook on both sides over moderate heat.
- When golden on both sides, lower the heat and arrange a slice of ham on each one with cheese on top. Put the lid on until the cheese has melted.
- Serve very hot and garnish with a spoonful of tomato sauce on top.
