Cotoletta alla Bolognese, A Specialty From Bologna

Giuseppe di Nola, aka Banana, is a food enthusiast and DJ for Italian rapper Coez. In this episode of Banana Eats, he visits Daniele Bendanti, the chef of Oltre in Bologna, Italy, to learn about the Cotoletta alla Bolognese. Different from its Milanese cousin, this Bolognese veal cutlet is covered in prosciutto, or cured ham and Grana Padano before being finished in a savory stock.

[@mokajones74]

@@deeeep507 there's a cult within Italy (it might be the whole damn country 😂) that's fascinated in creating a perfectly crispy crust, topping it with parmesean, and allowing it all to steam/sog/melt in a sauce of choosing. To us ignorant of their ways, it looks like theyre ruining all the work put in But gotdamn does it pack a wallop of flavor.

@@michaelstopher1471 "Ruffle your feathers" I am not talking about me. It is not about me. Do you know how disrespectful it is, ESPECIALLY TO THIS DAY, to try to take down Italian businesses that have their right to be, even with the issues going on? Every single ingredient to this day has been carefully made more than one year ago to grant that whatever is going on will be right, with techniques used for centuries. Do not use you parameters to do a framework of importance to other businesses that you clearly know nothing about. Sorry, it is not the time and place to make a joke. On top of it, do you research on every ingredient used. Literally, bore off. Joke on something that is stupid, like Facebook or this platform. These are websites and you can joke about it.

Partendo dal presupposto che anche il cartone della Peroni da 0,66, impanato e fritto coperto di prosciutto e parmigiano in bagno di brodo di cappone è buono... mi chiedo perché usare il vitello... e batterlo pure... non sarà uno spreco?

[@wellaciccio2362]

se dobbiamo tutti seguire il tuo treno di pensiero praticamente ogni cosa fritta e impanata è buona (vero) ancor più vero se la ricopri di cose deliziose. Qual è il punto? Non ricoprire le cose fritte o qualsiasi cosa coperta di prosciutto e parmigiano è buono? Comunque prosciutto e parmigiano sono classici emiliani iperpresenti, così come il brodo. Bologna detta la grassa può anche fare. O forse il vitello è sprecato? Quest'ultimo punto dipende dalla disponibilità. Capisco il non-spreco di cose preziose. Purtroppo però se guardi un panorama generico mondiale come carne così preziosa non è

Then there's the "cheese". The process to make the ones they will make 2 years from now is starting today.
