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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless veal loin, sliced into 12 rounds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, cut into small dice
3 cups sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons Marsala wine

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place each veal round between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to a 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy pan. Transfer the veal to a baking sheet. Combine the oregano, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then rub over the veal. Cover in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the veal from the refrigerator and dredge in flour to coat both sides. Shake to remove excess flour, then set the veal aside on a plate or tray.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 ounces milk-fed veal tenderloin
2 thin slices capocollo
2 thin slices Prosciutto di Parma
2 thin slices artisan soppressata
2 ounces imported Italian sharp provolone
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus additional for sprinkling
2 whole fresh basil leaves
2 large eggs
3 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 ounces sweet Sicilian Marsala wine
8 ounces chicken stock or broth
2 ounces unsalted butter
1 ounce demi-glace

Steps:

  • Divide the veal tenderloin into three pieces. Carefully and gracefully pound each piece with a meat mallet on each side until 1/8-inch thick.
  • Dice the capocollo, Prosciutto, soppressata, provolone, parsley and basil and place in an 8-inch bowl. Mix together.
  • Beat eggs together in a small bowl, then add 1 tablespoon egg to the bowl with the meat mixture and mix in. Carefully divide stuffing into 3 portions and roll each up in a scallopini very tightly.
  • Heat oil in an 8-inch saute pan until lightly smoking. Roll each rollatini in flour, then shake off excess and roll in remaining egg wash until covered. Place rollatinis in hot oil, seam-side down.
  • Allow to brown, lowering heat as needed. Gracefully turn, cooking scallopini until they have golden-brown crusts, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Remove excess oil from pan, then place back on medium heat and add mushrooms. Allow to cook for 2 minutes, then season with salt, pepper and parsley. Add Marsala wine to deglaze pan, then carefully add stock, butter and demi-glace. Allow heat to remain on medium until the liquid reduces by half, then by half again. When you see the pan sauce is the consistency of heavy cream, you have achieved nirvana. Gracefully place rollatinis on a plate, then cover with remaining sauce and mushrooms.

SCALOPPINE WITH ANY MEAT



Scaloppine With Any Meat image

You can use any kind of meat to make these dead-simple scaloppine - veal, turkey, chicken, pork, even beef if you can find pieces thin enough. Cook them quickly in butter over high heat, then turn those buttery pan drippings into your sauce, seasoning it with garlic and a squeeze of lemon or lime. This needs no further embellishment. But a handful of capers, sliced olives, chopped fresh herbs or toasted sliced almonds warmed in the butter at the last minute wouldn't do any harm, either.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality Marsala wine. A good choice is a dry Marsala Superiore or a semi-dry Marsala Fine.
  • Use unsalted butter to prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
  • Dredge the chicken breasts in flour before cooking to help them brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat so that they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken breasts. If necessary, cook them in batches.
  • Add the Marsala wine, chicken broth, and mushrooms to the pan and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the scaloppine alla marsala immediately over pasta or rice.
