panini con cotolette verdi
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
MAKES: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound veal cutlets
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup coarse plain bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup roughly chopped fennel
- 1/3 cup packed celery leaves (from inner stalks of bunch)
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 teaspoons fresh marjoram leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for frying pan, if needed
- 1 small zucchini, very thinly shredded
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 6 (3- to 4-inch) ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally
- 3 cups baby lettuces
Instructions
Gently pound cutlets to 1/8 -inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin. Cut into 2-inch-wide pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Put flour in a large shallow bowl. Lightly beat eggs in another large shallow bowl. In a food processor, finely chop bread crumbs, fennel, celery leaves, parsley, marjoram and thyme; transfer to a third bowl. Lightly coat veal pieces, 1 at a time, with flour, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs, coating completely, and put on a sheet of wax paper.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry veal pieces in batches (adding more oil as needed), turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
In a small bowl, toss together zucchini, remaining tablespoon oil, and generous pinch salt and pepper. In a second bowl, stir together mayonnaise and pesto. Spread 2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture on bottom halves of rolls. Make sandwiches with baby lettuces, veal, a little more mayonnaise mixture and zucchini.
