Preparation
- Place the cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound lightly with a mallet or meat pounder. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Flour the cutlets lightly, and shake to remove the excess.
- Beat the egg with 3 tablespoons of water, and salt and pepper. Dip the cutlets in the mixture, smearing it over with the fingers to help it adhere.
- Blend the Parmesan cheese and the bread crumbs in a flat dish. Dip the cutlets in the mixture, coating both sides. Pat lightly with the flat side of a heavy knife so that the crumbs adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet, and cook the cutlets over medium heat until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side 3 to 4 minutes. Two steps may be necessary if all the cutlets do not fit in the skillet.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add garlic and cook briefly; do not brown. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, pepper flakes and chopped basil. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring. Check seasoning.
- To serve, divide the tomato mixture on each warmed serving plate, and place the cutlets over the sauce.
