Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Shallot, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Dry Marsala wine
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until 1/4-inch thick.
Season both sides of the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the veal cutlets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the veal cutlets to the skillet in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the sliced mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour the chicken broth and Marsala wine into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it reduces slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the veal cutlets to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, coating the veal in the sauce and ensuring it is heated through.
Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
