Sorry to burst your bubble but Cotolette are CUTLETS AND NOT CHOPS. Add hot vinegar peppers and use Pork Chops instead and you're in heaven. All Veal Chops need is a little salt and pepper and grill, broil or bake.

Hi Bob,

Although I don't use this particular recipe when making veal cutlets, when we make them we use much thicker cuts of veal from the veal leg or shoulder, so they end up being much like the thickness of a chop (boneless). The veal cutlets usually sold in the average supermarket are far too thin and lack the texture of a cutlet the way it should be. Maybe using boneless veal chops could be a passable substitution for the cutlets sold in supermarkets!
