Napolitan Milanese
My Dad’s favorite restaurant has the best Milanese that I have tried. That’s what I’m trying to recreate with this recipe… I love that this dish has different layers of flavors, textures, and ingredients. My favorite part of this recipe is that it’s not only a breaded beef. This Milanese has tomato sauce which covers the indulgent feeling of eating something fried. I think my mom would agree with that. She usually doesn’t eat anything fried and Milanese is her exception. This is a perfect recipe for a weekend dinner night: different, fancy, but easy to make.
I hope you enjoy making this recipe and if not you can try it at Dimarco Parrilla: my dad’s favorite restaurant!
