Ricettario d'Italia

In breve

The dish in short

  • A bone-in veal rib chop, cut as thick as the bone: never pork or chicken, and never without its bone.
  • Egg and coarse breadcrumbs only, pressed on with the palm of the hand; no salt on the meat until it is cooked.
  • Fried in butter kept blond, never in oil: 7–8 minutes a side, all the chops in one layer.
  • Salted on the serving dish and served with lemon wedges.
