Cutlet

A cutlet is a breaded, fried, or otherwise cooked piece of meat, typically sliced from a larger cut. The word cutlet is used to describe both pork and veal dishes in French, Italian, and German cuisine.

In France, the term côtelette de porc or côtelette d'agneau (pork or lamb cutlet) is used to refer to a small, boneless, trimmed cut of meat, usually pork or lamb, that is pan-fried or grilled. In Italy, the term cutletta or costoletta can refer to both pork and veal dishes. The German term Kotelett (also spelled Kotelette or Kotlette) refers specifically to a pork cutlet.

Cutlets first became popular in the 18th century as a way to make cheaper cuts of meat more palatable. They were typically made from tougher, less desirable cuts of meat, such as the shoulder or neck, that were pounded thin and then breaded and fried. Over time, cutlets evolved into more sophisticated dishes, often made with tender cuts of meat, such as the loin or rib, and served with elaborate sauces.
