Despite being home alone tonight, I decided to press on with my plan of cooking Crumbed Veal Cutlets (page 177) & Broccoli with Chilli (page 213). The original recipe called for broccolini however an abundance of broccoli in the fridge was calling out to be cooked.
After stopping at Coles tonight to pick up two fresh veal cutlets, as I'd left the pair I had In the freezer, I started by preparing the breadcrumbs. I thinly sliced some wholemeal bread which was in the pantry, and after a quick toast, put it in the oven. Once dried, the hand blender finished them off.
Floured, egged, and crumbed, the cutlets went into the frypan, for around 3 minutes each side, per the recipe. I did take a shortcut with the recipe in not flattening the veal and it was evident in the lack of progress with cooking even after several more minutes on each side than called for. Eventually they went into the oven to stay warm while I did the broccoli.
3 garlic cloves and a long red chilli were chopped and added to some oil back in the same pan. After a minute of frying I added the broccoli and filled the base of the pan with water before steaming. 5 mins later I plated veal and broccoli, while boiling some more water with the garlic and chilli which became my sauce.
All in all a tasty dish. The veal was cooked well, and the second plate I made has gone into the fridge for tomorrow.
