The flavor profile is primarily savory, with a focus on the crispy, golden-brown breading complementing the tender meat. Butter is traditionally used for frying, lending a rich, nutty flavor.
The main flavors come from the combination of the veal (or pork), the crispy breadcrumb coating, and the butter used for frying. The meat itself provides a subtle, savory foundation. The breadcrumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper, create a textural contrast and add a mild, toasted flavor. The butter imparts a rich, nutty flavor that enhances the overall experience. Lemon wedges are often served alongside, adding a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the dish.

Meat Preparation
Pound the meat to an even thickness (about 1/4 inch) to ensure even cooking and tenderness. Use a meat mallet for this purpose.
Breading Technique
Follow the standard breading procedure: flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Ensure the breadcrumbs are fine and even for optimal crispiness. Season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent temperature (around 325-350°F or 160-175°C) when frying. Using clarified butter (or a neutral oil) prevents burning and adds flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately after frying for maximum crispness. Traditionally, it is served with a lemon wedge. Popular side dishes include potatoes (boiled, fried, or mashed), parsley potatoes, or a simple salad.
