Definice a Význam "escalope"

What is an "escalope"?

An escalope refers to a thin slice of meat, typically from poultry, veal, or pork, that is pounded or flattened to an even thickness. This technique helps tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking. Escalopes are often breaded and then pan-fried or sautéed until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. They can also be cooked without breading and served with various sauces or toppings, such as lemon butter, mushroom cream sauce, or tomato salsa. They are appreciated for their quick cooking time and ability to absorb flavors, making them a favorite among home cooks and chefs alike.
