Ingredients
- 1 pound veal cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the veal cutlets with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge the veal cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the veal cutlets to the skillet.
- Cook the veal cutlets for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Note: Veal cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft and their liquid has evaporated.
- Pour in the Marsala wine, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet. Simmer the sauce for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly reduced.
- Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Let them warm in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the veal marsala hot over pasta, rice, or alongside mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
