What is veal scallopini?
Scallopini is small thin slices of tender veal flattened by pounding,
dredged in flour, sautéed very quickly and served over a cream sauce made with wild mushroom and enhanced further with dry vermouth,
a must ingredient for white sauces.
I love dry vermouth in sauce, they go together beautifully.

In my area veal scallopini is difficult to find .... an expensive cut of meat. Pound them until very thin. Boneless skinless chicken breasts can be substituted (be sure to cook the chicken completely).

Serves 8

Mushroom Cream Sauce
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup wild mushrooms of your choice, sliced thinly
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon rubbed sage

In a saucepan over medium-high heat saute sliced mushrooms and minced garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter until liquid evaporates. Increase heat to high, add dry vermouth and chicken broth, reduce liquid to 3 tablespoons; add the cream.  Continue cooking until large bubbles appear and the sauce coats the back of a spoon.  Remove from heat, add thyme and sage.  Set aside.

2 pounds Veal Scallopini slices, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
Salt and pepper, to taste
Flour for dredging
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Cut meat into 8 servings. Season with salt and pepper, dredge in a small amount of flour; shake off excess. In a large skillet over high heat in 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter saute meat very quickly for 1 minute each side. Add any juices from the pan to the mushrooms, spoon onto individual plates, add the sauteed meat on top and serve with a Zucchini Flower Garnish or Strawberry Fan if desired.
