Restaurant-Style Veal Parmesan
In my early years of cooking my favorite Italian-American dish was veal parm. Learn how to make this classic restaurant-style dish in your home.
Ingredients
- 7 oz veal slices (3 ½ ounce per portion) (pounded thin and seamed together to make a 3 ½ ounce portion for each veal parm)
- 1 cup flour (seasoned with sea salt and black pepper)
- 1 cup eggwash (2 eggs whipped with water or milk)

- 8 oz spaghetti sauce
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 tsp Italian parsley (finely chopped (optional))
- 2 tbsp grated Romano Cheese
Directions

Using a meat hammer pound out the veal slices. Depending upon the size of the veal slices you may need to add two pieces together.This is done by pounding out each piece then seaming them together by overlapping the pieces and pounding them out a little more.
