About Milanese

Milanese is a classic dish originating from Italian cuisine, particularly Milan. It typically consists of a cutlet, often made from beef, veal, or chicken, that is breaded and pan-fried to golden perfection. The breading is usually a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning, giving it a distinctive flavor and crispy texture. While Milanese is rich in protein from the meat, its nutritional profile depends heavily on preparation methods. Pan-frying adds calories and fat, especially if excessive oil is used, making it a less healthy option compared to baking. However, lean cuts of meat and whole-grain breadcrumbs can enhance its nutritional value. Often served with a side of fresh greens or lemon wedges, Milanese can be part of a balanced meal when paired wisely. It's a flavorful indulgence that captures the essence of comfort food, with some room for healthier adaptations.
