Earlier in the week I featured a recipe for Veal Cutlets Milanese that was pretty popular. So, I thought I would keep the cutlet theme going by recommending a very different style from The Italian Chef archives for your Sunday dinner this week.

The Veal Cutlets of Trattoria Battibecco is a variation on Bolognese Style Veal Cutlets that we got permission to reprint from the excellent cookbook Biba’s Italy by Biba Caggiano. The cutlets are coated in Parmagianno-Reggiano cheese before being breaded and fried, topped with Prosciutto di Parma and Fontina cheese, then finished in a reduction of cream, butter and broth. The last time I made this I served it with some asparagus tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper then baked in the oven at 350 degrees until tender (about 10 to 15 minutes).

The weekend is almost upon us, so I thought I would reach down into the Italian Chef archives and recommend something for a nice traditional Italian Sunday dinner. The weather forecast here in the Northeast this week is pretty miserable, with snow and ice predicted for the next few days, so I find myself thinking about good old fashioned comfort food. The classic combination of Ossoboco with Risotto Milanese from the Lombardy region of Italy fits the bill perfectly.
