Veal cutlets are thin slices of veal, typically taken from the leg or loin, that are tenderized and often breaded or seasoned before cooking. This dish has roots in European cuisine, particularly Italian and French, where veal is featured prominently in recipes like veal Milanese and scaloppini. Veal is a high-protein meat, rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as B12, zinc, and iron. It is relatively lean compared to other red meats, which makes it a popular choice for those looking to reduce fat intake. However, the nutritional profile of veal cutlets can vary significantly depending on preparation methods; breading and frying increase calorie and fat content. Opting for grilled or baked veal cutlets can be a healthier alternative while preserving its rich, delicate flavor. Due to ethical concerns regarding veal production, individuals may also choose alternatives or seek responsibly sourced options.
