Argentinian Milanesas

Argentinian Milanesas SchnitzelsOne of my husband’s favorite foods these Schnitzels or Milanesas Argentinas as they are called in Argentina or Escalopas in Chile, my mother-in-law, is from Argentina and her mother was famous for this recipe. My husband cooked them. They are better than the ones I have done.

When we came to live in the U.S., my mother-in-law taught me some of her most classic dishes, and among them were these Milanesas.

Since I don’t like the greasy smell inside my kitchen, we use a grill with a side burner. We make them outside, and it is most practical.

What to serve with Milanesas?

Potato fries, potato salad (Ensalada Rusa), or a lettuce-based salad are classic side dishes to Milanesas.
NEVER served with gravy. Believe me is not a thing there.
