Hi everyone!

I decided to change things up from the garlic and oil based recipes for this week. Instead I thought I would share another popular sauce from the restaurant. Marsala Wine and Mushroom Sauce! We used it on Veal Scaloppini and also on chicken, shrimp, scallops,filet of sole and even pasta! I thought I would use veal in this recipe. In the restaurant we used the best milk fed veal to get the most tender pieces. For the home cook it may be a little harder to get the best veal. I tried two different local grocery stores to get the veal and neither were labeled milk fed. You can tell by the color of the veal if it’s milk fed. Milk fed veal has a pink color and more expensive than the grass fed version. The prices ranged from $14.99 to $18.99 a pound. I tried both and the milk fed was much more tender. They are both labeled as veal cutlets and the better quality one was labeled veal cutlet top round. You only need a pound to serve 4 people.

Take a veal cutlet and cut it in half across the grain to make a smaller piece called a medallion. A pound of veal should yield 12 medallions.

Pound each piece with a meat tenderizer with the side with small teeth about 3-4 times each side.

Object is to make small round medallions. Salt and dredge the medallions in flour.

Fry the prepared veal in canola oil. The veal is thin so it’s less than a minute on each
