VEAL MARSALA

By Silvermama

If you bear the fact that you are actually cooking calf meat, I don't think it looks any different than thin slices of steak. Being a pescatarian, I've never tasted the meat. If you don't pound the meat very thin, it tends to shrink back up and thicken. I usually serve this with angel hair pasta made with a sauce of butter, garlic and fresh basil topped with grated Parmesa.

Ingredients

• 1.5-2 lbs veal - pounded
• 1 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tbs olive oil
• Ground Black Pepper
• 2 tsp butter
• 3 shallots, chopped
• 8 large mushrooms, sliced
• 1/3 cup marsala or red wine
• 1/3 cup chicken stock or broth
• 1/3 chopped fresh basil
• Fresh grated Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
