Milanesas

A recipe by Ella 😋

"One of the emblematic dishes of Argentina, and a very common meal for my family. My dad would make them most weekends growing up, and now whenever I come back from uni, it is always what I have for dinner on my first night home.

My sister and I will help with breading the meat while he does the frying. We always make far too many on purpose so we can eat them cold the next day, straight out of the fridge, for breakfast or in a sandwich." Ella, Vice-Chair of the Latin American Society 25/26.
