In this Orazio Food Experience video, the host transforms a butternut squash into crispy cutlets reminiscent of Milanese cotoletta. He begins by describing the squash’s shape and decides to slice the narrow end into 1‑cm‑thick rounds. The ingredient list includes the squash, breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano, toasted hazelnuts, eggs, flour, fresh sage, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and pepper. The host recommends a brief pre‑cooking in a ventilated oven at 190 °C for about 15 minutes to soften the slices and prevent a hard, overly dark crust during frying. After cooling, the skin is removed, the slices are dried, then coated: first a light dusting of flour, then a dip in lightly salted beaten egg, and finally a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmigiano and crushed hazelnuts. He advises a single coating for a balanced crust. The cutlets are fried in oil heated to 160‑170 °C (ideally 165 °C) for roughly 2 minutes per side, using a thermometer to avoid under‑cooking (150 °C) or burning (180 °C). After frying, they are placed on absorbent paper or a rack to stay crisp. The same oil is used to quickly fry sage leaves (about 15 seconds) and a pinch of salt is added. The host tastes the result, noting the perfect texture, the sweet squash flavor, and the complementary sage. He suggests serving the cutlets as an appetizer, main course, or even an unconventional dessert, and recommends pairing with a dry, slightly acidic wine such as Lambrusco (Sorbara or Mantovano), Champagne, or a crisp Italian white. The video ends with typical YouTube calls to like, subscribe, comment, and read the host’s weekly newsletter about food, restaurants, and wine.
