Latin American

Milanesa is a popular dish with roots in Italy, but it has become a staple in Argentine and Latin American cuisine. This breaded and fried cutlet, typically made with beef or chicken, was brought to Argentina by Italian immigrants in the 19th century. The dish is named after the city of Milan, where a similar dish called "Cotoletta alla Milanese" is a culinary tradition. In Argentina, it is often served with a squeeze of lemon, mashed potatoes, or in a sandwich called "milanesa a la napolitana" topped with ham, tomato sauce, and cheese. Some of the best milanesa can be found in traditional Argentine parrillas (steakhouses) in Buenos Aires. The key to a perfect milanesa lies in the breading and frying technique, ensuring a crispy exterior and tender interior. For a twist, some chefs use alternative coatings like breadcrumbs mixed with herbs or even cornflakes for added crunch.
