2 tablespoons chopped parsley

4 veal steaks

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

1. Place almonds in a small processor or blender and pulse to roughly chop, without forming a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish with parmesan and parsley. Season well and toss to combine. Cover veal steaks with plastic wrap and pound lightly with a rolling pin to flatten. Lightly dust veal with flour. Dip in combined egg and milk, then almond mixture. Lay veal on a baking tray and chill for 10 minutes.

2. Heat oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan on medium until butter is foaming. Cook veal for 2 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel.

3. Serve veal with lemon wedges, mashed potato and salad.
