[net.cooks] *EASY* Veal parmigiana recipe

evan@pedsgo.UUCP (Evan Marcus) (12/30/85)

This is such an easy veal parm recipe it's disgusting (and SO good!):

You'll need:
- Veal (1/3 - 1/2 lb per person)
  Get your favorite cut of veal. I like the Italian-style shoulder cutlets, 
  about $8/lb, though this recipe is good with almost any cut.
- 2-3 eggs
- cooking oil
- Progresso Italian-style bread crumbs
- Ragu Meat-flavored spaghetti sauce
- Mozzarella cheese

Cover the bottom of a frying pan in oil, and heat it over a medium flame.
Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Spread enough Progresso Italian-style Bread crumbs
out on a plate to cover all of your veal.
Cut the veal into serving-sized pieces, say, 1x2 or so.  For each piece, rinse
under cold water, cover both sides in bread crumbs, run it thru the
beaten eggs, and then put it in the pan.
[NOTE: If veal is thick, be sure to coat the sides too!]
Brown both sides.  (no need to overdo it!)

In the meantime, cover an oven (Toast-R-Oven is fine!) pan with aluminum
foil (and Pam if you like to use it).  

When coating is brown, place each cutlet on the foil/pan.  Cover the tops of
each with your favorite spaghetti sauce.  (I use Ragu meat-flavored
spaghetti sauce.)  Then place a piece of Mozzarella cheese in the middle of
the sauce (cover most of the sauce with the cheese).  Bake at 350 until the
cheese begins to brown (should be less than 10 minutes).  Eat.

Please let me know how it turns out!

Aluminum foil and sauces containing tomatos DO NOT go well together.  In fact,
the aluminum foil will slowly corrode in the tomato sauce.
