Cultural Context

Pork Milanese, or Cotoletta alla Milanese, hails from Milan, Italy, where it is a beloved dish often served in trattorias. Traditionally made with veal, the dish celebrates the technique of breading and frying, creating a crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the tender meat inside. Today, variations using pork are popular, making it accessible and enjoyed worldwide, often accompanied by a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs for brightness.
