Milanesa (Italian: "cotoletta alla milanese")
is a South American variation of Italian dishes in which this dish is a piece
of breaded meat fillet, and is known by the name of milanesa.
Milanesa was
taken to Southern Cone by Italian immigrants during mass emigration known as
Italian diaspora in the period 1860-1920. The name of this dish reflects the
original Milanese dish, cotoletta alla Milanese, which is similar to Wiener
Schnitzel of Austria.
Milanesa
consists of thin slices of beef, chicken, veal, or sometimes pork, eggplant,
tempeh or soy. Each slice is dipped in beaten eggs, seasoned with salt, and
other spices according to the taste of the cook (such as parsley and garlic).
Each slice is then dipped in breadcrumbs (or sometimes flour) and hot cooking
oil, one after the other. Some people prefer to use less oil and then bake it
in the oven as a healthier alternative. The similar dish was chicken
parmigiana.
