Treat your ingredients with care...
- Veal cutlets — Pound the veal cutlets gently with a meat mallet to ensure they are evenly thin for quick and even cooking.
- Marsala wine — Use a good quality Marsala wine for the best flavor. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, opt for a sweet Marsala wine variety.
Tips & Tricks
- For a lighter version, you can substitute chicken breast for veal cutlets.
- If you don't have Marsala wine, you can use a dry white wine as a substitute.
- To make the dish more aromatic, add a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the mushroom sauce.
- Serve the Scaloppine al Marsala with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
- For a touch of freshness, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the dish just before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Scaloppine al Marsala hot, with a generous ladle of the creamy mushroom sauce over the veal cutlets. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
Arrange the veal cutlets on a serving platter and pour the creamy mushroom sauce over them. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for an elegant touch. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or buttered noodles and a vibrant green salad.
