I am so tired and I am heading off to bed very shortly but I just wanted to get something posted. I was looking through things last night and realised that I have so many things that I have made from Sydney Food that I haven't yet blogged about. I also have a number of other things that I want to post too. It has been hard to go back to work after a couple of weeks off. Haven't been feeling well or sleeping well either so it is all just a bit of a "perfect storm" of blah at the moment. 

I made this a while ago now. I couldn't get any veal at the time but my wonderful butcher gave me some wonderfully tender beef although I can't remember exactly which cut he gave me now. ***oops*** I would definitely make this again. The left overs were very good too. I served with spicy roast sweet potato and steamed broccoli & cauliflower. 

Parmesan veal schnitzel with creamed potatoes

Ingredients: 

• 8 veal escallops
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (I made them from wholemeal bread)
• 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup parsley 
• 2 tbsp finely chopped thyme 
• 1 teaspoon sea salt 
• freshly ground black pepper 
• 1/4 cup milk 
• 2 eggs 
• 1 cup plain (all-purpose) flour 
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Method:

• Place veal escallops on a board and flatten with a mallet. Place breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Place milk and eggs in a bowl and beat lightly together. Place flour in a bowl.
• Dip veal first in the flour, then egg wash and finally in breadcrumb mixture. Continue until all veal is coated.
• Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place veal in frying pan in a single layer, being careful not to crowd, and cook for two minutes until golden brown on one side. Turn veal and cook for a further two minutes. Remove from pan and keep warm until all the veal escallops are cooked. Serve with creamed potatoes.
