Breaded proteins. Hard to go wrong. Chicken nuggets are all the
rage, fish and chips, prawns cutlets. On and on. You can bread crumb
and fry anything and it tastes better. I think that a good piece of
veal is in fact the tastiest of all the breadcrumbing going on. With
the seasoning, lemon and mashed potato it just works.
4 Veal Rump Steaks (larger the better
Salt Pepper
Flour
1 egg with a little water
Breadcrumbs
Butter
Peanut oil
Lemon wedges
Veal, Breadcrumbs, Lemon, Simple. And it is. Done right it is one of
the all time great recipes. In the 70's this was all the rage.
Couldn't get enough of it. It was on top restaurant menus all the
way down to roadside diners. In fact the Golden Fleece roadhouse
version was particularly memorable. Literally the size of the plate
with mashed potatoes. For such a simple dish the outcome is
miraculous. It is so tasty.
Obviously milk feed veal is what every one is after and todays
butchers sell. But, in the day the older, larger veal might actually
have be better in this dish. The Wiener Schnitzel has almost gone
extinct via evolving into the Veal Parmigiana, which then evolved
into the Chicken Parma. I say "Bring back the Weiner.
Aaaah Schnitzel" should be a
movement.
Can be served with chips and salad. Very light dish. However I think
that a creamy mashed potato is wonderful and if fact goes a long way
to making this one of the classics.
