Ingredients

  • 1 pound veal cutlets, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or porcini)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear veal cutlets for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining butter to the skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add garlic and shallot, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Deglaze with Marsala wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 5 minutes until reduced by half.
  7. Add chicken broth and heavy cream (if using). Simmer for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Return veal to the pan. Spoon sauce over and simmer 5 minutes to heat through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Omit the cream for a lighter sauce with stronger Marsala flavor.
  • Substitute veal with thin chicken cutlets for Chicken Marsala.
  • Use a mix of mushrooms for added umami depth.
  • Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.
  • Best served fresh, but can be made ahead and gently reheated.
