Instructions
1
Prep
Pat veal chops dry. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Set up three shallow plates: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, breadcrumbs in the third. Halve cherry tomatoes. Toss arugula and tomatoes with 2 tsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of flaky salt.
2
Dredge
Coat each veal chop in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten egg, letting excess drip off. Press firmly into breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere evenly on both sides.
3
Fry
Heat clarified butter in a wide skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Working with both chops, lay them in foaming butter. Cook 4 minutes undisturbed until undersides are deep golden. Flip carefully and cook 4 minutes more until second sides are golden and internal temperature reaches 60°C.
4
Rest and plate
Lift cotolette onto a paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp flaky salt while hot. Plate the cutlets, pile arugula-tomato salad on top or beside each, tuck lemon wedges alongside. Serve immediately while crisp.
