Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
All-purpose flour, for dredging
8 slices veal scaloppine (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large leaves fresh sage
1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, shiitake, etc.), thickly sliced
2 large shallots, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup Marsala
1 cup hot chicken stock (see page 40)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy skillet set over medium heat. Shake the flour onto a rimmed plate. Season the veal all over with the salt, and dredge lightly in the flour, tapping off the excess. Add the veal to the skillet, moving it around so it all fits, and cook until browned and caramelized on the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the veal to a plate.
Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sage leaves to the skillet. Once the sage is sizzling, add the mushrooms and shallots. Add about 2 tablespoons of the Marsala to get the mushrooms cooking. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have released their liquid and all the liquid has cooked away, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the rest of the Marsala and the stock. Bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until the sauce has reduced by half, then whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pieces.
Return the veal to the sauce, and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve.
