Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces veal cutlets
  • ¼ cup flour (for dredging)
  • 2 tbsp butter (30g)
  • 2.5 cups Crimini mushrooms (sliced (170g) aka chestnut mushrooms UK)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock (low sodium (375ml))
  • ½ cup Marsala wine (125ml)
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet (for cooking veal and sauce)

Method
 

  1. Season the veal with salt and pepper and slightly press it in so it sticks. Sprinkle the flour on a plate and dredge each piece of veal in the flour until lightly coated, shake off any excess.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan and fry the veal for 1 minute on each side until browned and cooked through. You’ll need to do this in batches and add more oil as needed. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  3. Add the butter to the pan; once melted, add the mushrooms and sprinkle with a little salt. Fry the mushrooms for around 5-7 minutes until the excess moisture has been released and they start to cook down.
  4. Add the garlic and fry for 1 more minute. Add the Marsala and let it simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. Add 1.5 cups (375ml) of chicken stock.
  5. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add the veal back into the pan to warm through.
  6. Serve the veal with a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.
