VEAL SCALOPPINE MARSALA - August 5

Ingredients:

1 lb veal cutlets
1/4 C flour, all purpose
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper (I usually omit it)
3 Tbl butter or margarine
1/2 C marsala wine, dry
1/2 C chicken broth
1 Tbl parsley, freshly chopped, not dried

Instructions:

- Pound the cutlets to 1/8" thick.  I do this by putting the cutlets between wax paper and placing it inbetween two plates, without ridges.  I pound the top plate on top of the cutlets.  I think a meal mallet tear the cutlets too much.  Cut the veal into 3x3" pieces.
- Combine flour, salt and pepper on a plate lined with new wax paper.  Lightly coat the cutlets shaking off excess.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a non stick skillet.  Cook veal, in batches, until browned, which should be less than a minute per side.  Use tongs to remove pieces to a warm serving platter and keep warm.
- Stir marsala and broth into veal drippings in pan.  Cook until syrupy, about 4 minutes, stirring up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour sauce over veal and sprinkle with parsley.  If you don't have fresh, just omit it all together.
