CHICKEN MILANESE WITH TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL SALAD
A classic veal Milanese consists of pounded veal cutlets or chops that have been breaded in crumbs and sometimes Parmesan, then fried until the coating is burnished and brittle. Accompanied by a crisp, bright salad, it's a meal both cooling and rich. In this version, chicken breasts replace the veal, and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella tossed with garlicky basil oil acts as the foil to the meat. If you want to work ahead, you can coat the cutlets in crumbs up to 4 hours ahead. Store them on a wire rack in the fridge. But try to serve them freshly fried when their coating is at its crunchiest.

Steps:
- Lightly season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper; let rest while you make the basil oil.
- In a blender or food processor, combine 2/3 cup oil, basil, garlic and salt to taste; purée until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes and mozzarella with about half of the basil oil and salt to taste. Set aside.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Pour eggs into another shallow dish; combine panko and Parmesan in a third dish.
- In a large skillet, melt butter and remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. As it heats, dip a chicken cutlet in flour, shake off excess, then dip in eggs. Shake off excess, then dip both sides in panko mixture and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
- When oil is hot, fry 2 cutlets at a time until bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and fry until golden and crispy all over, about another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Taste tomato-mozzarella salad and add more salt and-or basil oil if needed. Serve cutlets topped with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of remaining basil oil and tomato-mozzarella salad.

Steps:
- Season the cutlets with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the flour in a dinner plate and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a second plate and the beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip the cutlets into the flour, then the eggs and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing down on both sides so that the bread crumbs adhere to the meat.
- Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F. Pan-fry the cutlets in batches until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
- To assemble the sandwiches, halve the rolls horizontally. Pull out the soft center of the slices and discard. Spread each roll evenly with the Chipotle Mayonnaise. Put the cutlets on the bottom halves of the rolls and top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion and jalapeno. Arrange the sandwiches on serving plates and garnish with lime wedges.
- In a small bowl mash together the chipotle chile, lime juice and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:
- With your fingers, remove and discard some of the soft inner bread from the rolls, creating a shallow well in each. Divide the avocado among all 4 pieces of bread. Using a fork, mash the avocado over the bread.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to blend. Add the tomato and arugula and toss to coat. Divide the arugula mixture between the 2 bottom pieces of bread, add the sliced Pork Milanese, and cover with the top pieces of bread. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

Steps:
- Make the dressing and marinate the tomatoes: In a small bowl, whisk together the Balsamic Reduction and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the dressing with the tomatoes and salt to taste. Toss to coat and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining dressing for the sandwich.
- Make the pork: Cut the tenderloin on a bias into four equal pieces. Pound out each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a long 1/4-inch-thick cutlet.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (this gives it the puffy golden brown exterior we love!). Place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
- Generously sprinkle the pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Then coat in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure it all sticks. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan and let dry out for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 cups oil in a large high-sided pan or skillet over medium heat until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fit two sheet pans with wire racks and set aside.
- Fry the cutlets in batches while gently shaking the skillet to ensure no sticking and that the tops of the cutlets get some love, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack to drain.
- Assemble the subs: In a medium bowl, combine the arugula and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- Cut the bread in half horizontally to split. Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with the reserved balsamic dressing and some olive oil. Place the burrata slices on the bottom half of the bread, ensuring that all that creamy interior goodness evenly mingles with the bread. Sprinkle with flakey salt. Layer the pork, shingled and on a bias, on top. Top with the dressed arugula, marinated tomatoes, basil and banana peppers. Drizzle with some banana pepper brine, then close up with the bread top! Slice on the bias into 4 equal sandwiches.
- In a small saucepan, add the balsamic, brown sugar, thyme, garlic, shallots and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then let it cook until it reduces to 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Strain.
FISH MILANESE
This fast weeknight dinner features quick-cooking flounder prepared alla Milanese, the style of breading and frying meat cutlets. The fillets are lightly breaded and pan-fried until golden and crisp on the outside and tender in the middle. A lemony, brown-butter pan sauce with capers comes together quickly to add a tangy brininess to the dish. A bit of avocado on the side adds creaminess that balances the crisp fish and peppery arugula. Any leftover fish makes for terrific sandwiches the next day, stacked with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo.

Steps:
- Place flour, eggs and bread crumbs in three separate shallow bowls, and season each with salt and pepper. Crumble the oregano with your fingertips and add to the bread crumbs; mix well.
- Season fish with salt. Working with one piece at a time, dredge in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg (shake off excess) then dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a large plate.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip fish and cook until golden on the second side and cooked through, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large paper towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Wipe out skillet. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the oil and the remaining fish.
- Wipe out skillet and melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is softened and butter is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, plus the lemon juice, parsley, capers and caper brine, and mix well. Transfer the brown-butter vinaigrette to a small heatproof bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the fish, arugula and avocado among plates, and drizzle with the brown-butter vinaigrette. Serve with lemon wedges.
