1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

PORK SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA



Pork Scaloppine with Mushrooms and Marsala image

Categories     Sauce     Mushroom     Pork     Side     Fry     Marsala     Boil

Yield makes 12 scaloppine, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 pounds (or a little more) boneless center-cut pork loin
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more if needed
5 tablespoons butter, or more if needed
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 fresh sage leaves
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (a single variety such as porcini, shiitake, cremini, white mushrooms, or a mixture)
1 cup dry Marsala
1 cup light stock (chicken, turkey, or vegetable broth), or more if needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Recommended Equipment
A meat mallet
A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, 14 inches in diameter

Steps:

  • Trim the pork loin, leaving only a thin layer of fat, and cut it crosswise into twelve equal slices. Using a meat mallet (or other heavy implement), flatten and spread the slices into scaloppine about 1/4 inch thick. Season lightly on both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Dredge the scaloppine in the flour, coating both sides, and shake off the excess.
  • Meanwhile, put 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet, set over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, lay four or more scaloppine in the skillet-as many as can lie flat without crowding-and let them sizzle in place until the underside is opaque and tinged with brown, about 3 minutes. Flip them over and color the second side for a couple of minutes; then lift out the slices, let the fat drain off, and put them on a platter. Add a bit more olive oil and/or butter to the skillet if it seems dry, and fry the rest of the scaloppine in the same way.
  • When all of the pork is browned, pour off the frying oil but leave any crusty caramelization in the skillet. Put in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter, and return to medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, drop in the shallots and sage leaves, and cook, stirring, for a minute. Scatter the sliced mushrooms in the pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir continuously as the mushrooms sizzle and start to release their juices. Cook, tossing and stirring, until the moisture has evaporated and the mushroom slices are shrunken, soft, and caramelized, 6 minutes or more.
  • Pour in the Marsala, raise the heat, and stir until it boils. Let the wine bubble and reduce for a minute or two, then stir in the stock. Bring to a boil, and cook at a gentle bubbling pace until the sauce is slightly viscous but loose, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • One by one, slide the scaloppine into the simmering sauce, and pour in any juices accumulated on the platter. Shake the pan, spoon sauce over the scaloppine, and flip them over once or twice, until they are heated through and glistening with sauce on both sides. If the sauce is too dense to coat all the meat, loosen it with a bit of stock. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the parsley all over, and serve.

VEAL SCALOPPINE MARSALA

Categories     Sauce     Side     Veal     Marsala     Simmer

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
All-purpose flour, for dredging
8 slices veal scaloppine (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large leaves fresh sage
1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, shiitake, etc.), thickly sliced
2 large shallots, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup Marsala
1 cup hot chicken stock (see page 40)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy skillet set over medium heat. Shake the flour onto a rimmed plate. Season the veal all over with the salt, and dredge lightly in the flour, tapping off the excess. Add the veal to the skillet, moving it around so it all fits, and cook until browned and caramelized on the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the veal to a plate.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sage leaves to the skillet. Once the sage is sizzling, add the mushrooms and shallots. Add about 2 tablespoons of the Marsala to get the mushrooms cooking. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have released their liquid and all the liquid has cooked away, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the rest of the Marsala and the stock. Bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until the sauce has reduced by half, then whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pieces.
  • Return the veal to the sauce, and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve.
