Veal Scallopini With Olive And Sun Dried Tomato Sauce Recipe Epicuriouscom

VEAL SCALOPPINE BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400° and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Flatten the veal scallops into scaloppine, one at a time. Place a scallop between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap, and pound it with the toothed face of a meat mallet, tenderizing and spreading it into a thin oval, about 1/4 inch thick. The pieces will vary in size.
• Season the scaloppine with salt on both sides, using about 1/2 teaspoon in all. Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each scallop, coating both sides with flour. Shake of the excess and lay them down, spread apart, on wax paper. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt in a wide shallow bowl.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil and drop 3 tablespoons of butter into the big sauté pan, and set over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, quickly dip scallops, one by one, in the eggs, let the excess drip off, then lay them in the skillet. Fit in as many scallops as you can in one layer-about half the veal.
• Brown the scallops on one side for about a minute, then flip and brown the second side for a minute. Turn them in the order in which they went into the skillet, and then transfer them to a plate. Remove any burnt bits from the skillet, and pour in the remaining olive oil; dip the remaining scallops in egg, and brown them the same way. (If your skillet is not big enough, it is fine to fry the veal in three batches.)
• When all the scaloppine are browned, arrange them in the baking pan, overlapping them so they fill the dish in an even layer.
• To make the Marsala sauce: Wipe out the skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in it, and set over medium heat. Scatter in the prosciutto strips, and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes or longer, until crisped on the edges. Pour in the Marsala and white wine at the same time, raise the heat, and bring to a rapid boil. Cook until the wines are reduced by half, then pour in the stock, heat to the boil, and cook for a couple of minutes more, stirring, untl the sauce has amalgamated and thickened slightly.
• Remove the pan from the heat, scoop out the prosciutto strips, and scatter them over the scaloppine in the baking dish, then pour the sauce all over the meat, moistening the scaloppine evenly.
• To make the gratinato: shave the chunk of Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano with a vegetable peeler, dropping thin wide flakes of cheese over the scaloppine, lightly covering them.
• Set the baking dish in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes or so, until the gratinato is nicely browned and very crisp (rotate the dish in the oven to ensure even coloring).
• Remove the dish from the oven and, with a sharp knife or a spatula, cut around the scaloppine and lift them out, one or two at a time, with the topping intact, onto a platter or dinner plates. Drizzle the pan sauce around the scaloppine-not on top-and serve immediately.

VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH OLIVE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until foam from butter subsides.
• Meanwhile, spread flour on half of a shallow baking pan. Working with 2 or 3 slices at a time, transfer veal to flour in 1 layer. Lightly season top side of veal with salt and pepper, then turn over to coat completely with flour. Shake off excess flour and stack slices on other half of pan. Sauté veal in batches without crowding, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter as browned, adding new cutlets to skillet as space becomes available, and keep warm in oven.
• When all of veal is cooked, bring wine, broth, tomatoes, and olives to a boil in uncleaned skillet, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, then add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl skillet until butter is incorporated. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over veal.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely grind dried porcini in spice grinder or coffee grinder. Transfer 2 tablespoons ground porcini to heavy medium saucepan (reserve any remaining ground porcini for another use). Add wine, 1/2 cup shallots and vinegar to saucepan. Boil until porcini broth is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place dried morels in small bowl. Pour 2 cups hot water over; let stand until morels soften, about 30 minutes. Drain; reserve soaking liquid. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fresh mushrooms and remaining 1/2 cup shallots and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add drained morels and stir 3 minutes. Add porcini broth, 3/4 cup reserved morel soaking liquid and whipping cream; simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Remove sauce from heat; cover to keep warm.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium, adding more oil to skillet if necessary. Divide veal among 4 plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over veal and serve.
• *Dried porcini mushrooms and dried morel mushrooms are available at specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
