Cotoletta is a classic dish from Italian cuisine, particularly associated with the Lombardy region. Traditionally, it consists of a breaded and pan-fried veal cutlet, though variations using pork or chicken are also popular. The meat is typically coated in a mixture of flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs before being fried in butter or oil until golden. Cotoletta is rich in protein due to the meat, but its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation methods. Frying contributes to higher fat and calorie content, making moderation important. Using lean cuts of meat, baking instead of frying, or opting for whole-grain breadcrumbs can enhance its healthfulness. Cotoletta is often served with fresh salads or roasted vegetables, complementing its flavors and balancing the meal nutritionally. While it’s a savory treat, its indulgence lies in its crispy texture and tender, flavorful meat.
