Milanese

Milanese cuisine has a long and rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages. The city of Milan was once a major center of trade and commerce, and its cuisine reflect this cosmopolitan influence. Traditional Milanese dishes are often hearty and filling, making use of local ingredients like beef, pork, and rice. Many recipes also include a generous amount of cheese and butter, giving them a rich and creamy flavor.

Some of the most popular Milanese dishes include risotto alla milanese, a creamy rice dish flavored with saffron; ossobuco, a rich stew made with beef shanks; and cotoletta alla milanese, a breaded and fried veal cutlet. These and other Milanese specialties are often served with a side of polenta, a dish made from cooked cornmeal.

While the city of Milan is now better known for its fashion and design, its cuisine remains an important part of the city’s identity. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal to warm you up on a cold day or a light and refreshing dish to enjoy in the summer heat, you’re sure to find something to your taste in Milanese cuisine.
