LAYERED PORTOBELLO VEAL CUTLETS WITH RED BLISS POTATOES AND LENTIL PUREE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of chicken stock, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Dip each veal cutlet in the egg mixture, and then dredge lightly in flour, then in breadcrumbs.

• Serve with Red Bliss potatoes and Lentil puree.
• Heat olive oil in a medium sized pan and add chopped shallots. Add the mushrooms to the pan and saute until they soften.
• Add sliced potatoes to a medium sized pot of boiling water, simmer until the potatoes are tender. Once the potatoes are tender, drain and add to the pan with mushrooms. Saute everything together until everything is tender.
• Simmer lentils in approximately 3 cups of water until soft. Drain the water from the pot and add the diced tomatoes and the chopped red onion, then salt, to taste. Cook over low to medium heat for roughly 40 minutes, or until thick. Spoon the lentil puree over the prepared veal cutlets.
