Gremolata Veal Cutlets
with Arugula Salad
Total preparation and cooking time: 25 to 30 minutes (Makes 6 servings)
Ingredients
1 pound veal leg cutlets, cut 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large lemon
1-1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
4 cups baby arugula
1/2 cup diced fresh tomato
1 tablespoon honey
4 large pitted dates, cut into thin slices
1/4 cup loosely packed Parmesan cheese shavings
Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
Pound veal cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness, if necessary. Combine garlic and pepper; press evenly onto cutlets.
Grate peel and squeeze juice from lemon; reserve juice. Combine lemon peel, panko and parsley in shallow dish. Coat cutlets with crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place half of cutlets in skillet; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and veal is cooked through, turning once. Remove cutlets; keep warm. Wipe out skillet with paper towel. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cutlets. Season veal with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Place arugula and tomato in large bowl.
Whisk reserved lemon juice and honey in small bowl until blended. Pour over arugula and tomato; toss to coat. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, if desired.
Divide arugula mixture evenly among 4 serving plates. Top evenly with dates and cheese. Serve with veal. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Before serving, squeeze 1 lemon wedge over veal, if desired.
Cook's Tip: One and one-quarter cups unseasoned dry bread crumbs may be substituted for panko. To shave cheese, run a vegetable peeler over a piece of Parmesan, using a light touch for thin shavings
