Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pork or chicken cutlets — Pound the cutlets gently with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness for quick and uniform cooking.
- Marsala wine — Use a good quality Marsala wine for the best flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute it with a dry sherry or Madeira wine.
- Mushrooms — Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt before slicing.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of cream or sour cream at the end.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Serve the scaloppine with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra touch of flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
