Who else here likes Melanesa?!
Answers: Has anyone else here tried Melanesa? (it's an Argentine dish)
I have never had it, but it sounds yummy! For those who dont know the dish:
Milanesas (plural) are a common meat dish mostly in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay as well as in other American countries at a lesser extent, such as Mexico, where breaded meat filet preparations are known as a milanesa (Beef is bife a milanesa and chicken is frango a milanesa in Portuguese).
A milanesa consists of a thin slice of beef, or sometimes chicken or veal. Each slice is dipped into beaten eggs, seasoned with salt, and other condiments according to the cook's taste (like parsley and garlic). Each slice is then dipped in breadcrumbs (or occasionally flour) and shallow-fried in oil, one at a time. Some people prefer to use very little oil and then cook them in the oven as a healthier alternative.
In Argentina and Uruguay, frequently milanesas are served hot with fried or mashed potatoes, this dish is known as milanesa con papas. They are often used as a sandwich filling, with salad. Lemon juice is also commonly used as a seasoning. They are a common snack and popular with young people. Their low cost and simple preparation make milanesas a popular meal for all classes of society, and practically a staple item in every restaurant.
By adding tomato paste, mozzarella cheese and sometimes ham, Argentines and Uruguayans created a dish called "Milanesa a la napolitana" (Milanese alla Neapolitan). "

as long as you take MYLANTA after eating Melanesa!
Milanesas are great!
Are you referring to Milanesa?
It is pounded, breaded beef or pork...normally eaten in a sandwich or with tortillas...
It is also available in most half-authentic mexican restaurants.
I love Milanesas,
I love to eat next day leftovers as a sandwich with lettuce tomatoe, avocado, and a spicy salsa.
You can also make a Milanesa a la Acapulque?a. I had this in Mexico. It's basically the milanesa toped with a piece of ham and cheese put under the broiler for a couple of seconds.
My family in Mexico taught me how to make Milanese. Usually it's accompanied by a small salad and french fries. It's also good in a sandwich.
I use the same method on breast filets.. Pechugas empanizadas.
Now I'm hungry!
I love Milanesas. I used to eat it virtually everyday while living in Honduras, and eat it frequently at the true Mexican restaurants here in Texas. Of course a lot of Texans would tell you that bife a milanesas is really just chicken fried steak. Of course in Honduras they would not tell you what the milanesas meat of the day was...it was quite an adventure. :-)
