Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Veal cutlets (1 pound, thinly sliced)
- All-purpose flour (1/2 cup, for dredging)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
- Marsala wine (1 cup)
- Chicken broth (1/2 cup)
- Lemon (1, juiced)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the veal cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
- Add the veal cutlets to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
- Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet and bring it to a vigorous boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, which will flavor the sauce.
- Once the wine has reduced slightly, add the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
- Return the veal cutlets to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the veal to finish cooking through.
- Serve the Scaloppine al Marsala hot, drizzled with the rich sauce and garnished with a slice of lemon if desired.
