Origin
Veal Milanese, or veal alla Milanese, is an Italian dish in Milanese Lombard cuisine, and a popular variety of cotoletta. It’s traditionally prepared with a veal rib chop or sirloin bone-in and made into a breaded cutlet, fried in butter. Due to its shape, it is often called oreggia d’elefant in Milanese or orecchia d’elefante in Italian, meaning elephant’s ear.
