Description

Thin, golden veal cutlets in a creamy white wine mushroom sauce, ready in 40 minutes. Cozy, elegant, and full of flavor—just like your favorite Italian trattoria.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 veal cutlets (about ½ pound)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 tablespoon chicken base (like Better Than Bouillon)
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (leaves only)


Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, garlic salt, and pepper in a tray. Dredge veal cutlets on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear cutlets 1 min per side; remove and keep warm.
  3. Add garlic and butter to pan; stir until butter melts.
  4. Add lemon juice, wine, chicken base, and cream. Whisk to combine.
  5. Stir cornstarch and water together, then add to skillet. Whisk until thickened.
  6. Add mushrooms and rosemary. Simmer until mushrooms are tender and sauce is thick.
  7. Return veal to skillet, coat with sauce, and heat through. Serve hot.

Notes

Swap veal for chicken or pork if needed. Omit mushrooms for picky eaters. Use a good drinking wine for the sauce. Store leftovers in fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently.
