COTOLETTE ALLA PALERMITANA

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

veal cutlets

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork cutlets

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than veal.

Cut the veal into 3 cutlets from a larger piece of meat, ensuring they are of even thickness.

Prepare 250 grams of fine bread crumbs in a bowl.

Grate 100 grams of pecorino romano cheese and add it to the bread crumbs.

Chop a small handful of parsley and add it to the bread crumb mixture.

Chop a small amount of chives and add it to the mixture as well.

Optionally, chop garlic and add it to the mixture, or leave it out if preferred.

Mix the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, chives, and garlic together thoroughly.

Brush the veal cutlets with olive oil on both sides.

Coat the cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crumbs.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).

Place the coated cutlets on a baking sheet.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the cutlets before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes, checking for doneness.

After baking, optionally add a sprinkle of lemon zest on top before serving.
