Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 pieces Lemon
Instructions
Place the veal cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
Season both sides of the veal cutlets with a mixture of salt and black pepper. Place the flour on a shallow plate and dredge each cutlet lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the veal cutlets to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the white wine to the skillet and deglaze by scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce by half.
Pour in the chicken stock and return the veal cutlets to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the dish simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Stir in the remaining butter (1 tablespoon) and the fresh parsley. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the veal and sauce, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the veal cutlets warm, topped with the mushroom sauce. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
