Veal with Woodland Cream
Veal
1 lb. veal scaloppini
2 cups flour
4 Tbsp. butter
Woodland Cream
1/2 cup dried wild mushrooms, such as porcini or morels
1 cup Marsala wine
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1 tsp. Creole Seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 1/2 cups Veal or Beef Stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
First, prepare the Woodland Cream. Combine the dried mushrooms with the Marsala wine in a small bowl for 15 minutes. Add more wine if the mushrooms will soak it up. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the fresh mushrooms, shallot, garlic, green onion, Creole Seasoning (see Misc. Recipes 1995), salt and pepper. Sauté over high heat for 1 minute. Add the wild mushrooms and Marsala wine and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Slowly stir in the cream, bring back to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove all of the wild mushrooms and most (but not all) of the fresh mushrooms to a food processor. Process the mushrooms and stir them back into the cream sauce. Keep warm as you prepare the veal. Combine the veal and flour in a plastic bag and shake so that you coat the veal with flour. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the veal and saute for 2 minutes on each side.
