Best Veal Scaloppine With Eggplant And Mushrooms Recipes

VEAL SCALOPPINE MARSALA

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.

VEAL SCALOPPINE IN MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare sauce, heat 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in large skillet on 'medium' setting.
• Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; sweat until vegetables are tender.
• Add tomato paste, water, thyme, basil, sugar and crushed bay leaves; stir until tomato paste is incorporated and mixture is smooth.
• (Note: When using fresh herbs instead of dried, I approximately triple the amount of basil and double the thyme -- but you can tell better by taste than exact measurements. Replacing 1/2 cup of the water with wine is also an excellent option. And I *always* throw in the hot pepper flakes!).
• Taste mixture, adding salt and pepper as needed. (For inexperienced cooks, I would suggest starting with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and going -- slowly -- from there until it tastes just right.).
• Continue cooking over medium heat, allowing mixture to slowly reach a boil; at that point, reduce heat several notches and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, season veal scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Measure flour and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
• (Note: A scant measure of flour will be enough. Breadcrumbs can be fresh or commercial. Recipe calls for 'plain', but the Italian-seasoned kind work fine also.).
• Break egg into third bowl, beating well with a whisk.
• In a second skillet or large pot, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter on 'medium' setting.
• Dredge scallopini in flour, coating lightly but thoroughly on both sides; dip in beaten egg to coat; cover all over with breadcrumbs.
• Brown thoroughly in hot oil (depending on how brown you want them, it will take about 2-4 minutes per side); drain on paper towels.
• Add browned scallopini to marinara sauce, turning to coat if necessary; continue simmering slowly until meat is thoroughly done and very tender (10-15 minutes).

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut veal into serving size pieces.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bag and shake with the veal to coat.
• Saute in butter.
• Remove veal and set aside.
• Saute garlic and mushrooms; add lemon juice, chicken broth and wine. Add veal, cover and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.
• Serve with rice or pasta.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Place each veal round between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to a 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy pan. Transfer the veal to a baking sheet. Combine the oregano, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then rub over the veal. Cover in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove the veal from the refrigerator and dredge in flour to coat both sides. Shake to remove excess flour, then set the veal aside on a plate or tray.
• In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling. Working in batches, fry the veal until golden and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the onions to the pan and cook until the onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, Marsala, capers, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and saute until soft and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until the sauce is reduced by half and thickened.
• Transfer the cooked veal to a serving plate and pour the sauce all over it. Top with the parsley and serve.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS BORDELAISE

Steps:

• Pound the scaloppine on a flat surface with a flat mallet. Do not break the tissues. Set aside.
• Slice the mushrooms thinly. There should be about five cups. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. When it is hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms. Cook over moderately high heat until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are browned. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Dredge the scaloppine in flour seasoned with pepper. Cook the scaloppine, a few at a time, on both sides until lightly browned, about 45 to 60 seconds on each side. As they are cooked transfer them to a warm platter.
• Pour off the oil from the skillet in which the scaloppine cooked. Add the butter and when it is hot, add the mushrooms. Cook briefly, shaking the skillet and turning the mushrooms. Add the shallots and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine and cook, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the skillet. Pour the mushrooms over the veal and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
