Ingredients
- 450 g veal - 1 pound, slices (approximately two medium thin slices per serving)
- 40 g butter - 3 tablespoons, unsalted
- 3 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
- ¼ cup flour - all purpose
- 500 g mushrooms - 1.1 pound, champignon
- 50 ml wine - 4 tablespoons, dry white
- parsley - a bunch, fresh
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scrape the mushrooms until all traces of soil and damaged parts are removed. Then clean the outside with a damp cloth and a special brush.
- Once cleaned, they are ready to be sliced. Set them aside.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil with 2 cloves of peeled garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms.
- Season lightly with salt and add a handful of chopped parsley. Cook in the pan for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, remove any fatty or fibrous pieces from the meat. If the slices are not very thin, pound them lightly with a meat tenderizer. Then flour the veal slices on both sides and shake to remove excess flour.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a skillet. Once the butter is melted, add the floured slices of veal, making sure they do not overlap.
- Season the slices with salt and pepper. Brown for about 1 minute on each side. Then deglaze with the white wine and let it evaporate.
- At this point, remove the garlic cloves from the mushrooms. Then toss the mushrooms over the meat with all the seasoning. Stir a little so that the mushrooms are well distributed over all the slices.
- Turn down the heat and let the mushrooms and meat cook together for a few minutes. This will allow them to be well flavored.
- Adjust the salt if necessary and add a grind of pepper if you like! The mushroom scallopini are ready!
