Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preparing the 'cutlets' out of the tofu. Press the block of tofu to remove excess moisture, then slice it into thin cutlets. Pat the cutlets dry with a paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
-
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. Pour the plant-based milk into a third dish.
-
Dredge each tofu cutlet in the flour, making sure to coat it evenly. Dip the floured cutlet into the plant-based milk, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded tofu cutlets into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the cutlets are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil. Sprinkle with a little more salt while they are still hot.
-
Serve the Anne Burrell Pork Milanese hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the cutlets. Enjoy this flavorful vegan dish with a side of salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite grain.
