17/11/2023

Veal scaloppine with porcini mushrooms is a delicious dish in which the delicacy of the meat marries perfectly with the intense flavor of the mushrooms. Here’s what you need and how to prepare this dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 thin slices of veal (scaloppine)
  • 300 g of fresh porcini mushrooms or 30 g of dried porcini mushrooms (if using dried, remember to soak them in warm water for about 20 minutes)
  • Flour as needed for dusting the scaloppine
  • 50 g of butter
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 1 glass of dry white wine
  • Enough meat broth
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Carefully clean the porcini with a damp cloth or a brush if they are fresh, slice them not too thinly, and set aside. If using dried porcini, after soaking, squeeze them well and slice.
  2. Lightly flour the scaloppine. This will help create a light crust when you brown them and thicken the sauce.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan with a drizzle of oil to prevent burning. Add the garlic and rosemary sprig and brown the floured scaloppine on both sides until golden. Then remove them from the pan and keep them warm.
  4. In the same pan, remove the garlic and add the porcini. Sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes until they are golden brown.
  5. Deglaze with the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
  6. Return the scaloppine to the pan with the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and add a bit of broth to prevent the mixture from drying out too much.
  7. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  8. Serve the veal scaloppine with porcini hot, garnished with chopped parsley if you want a touch of color and freshness.

Curiosity

Scaloppine are a classic of Italian cuisine, and the porcini version is particularly appreciated for its intense and refined taste. For a typically Italian variation, you might pair it with a side of polenta, ideal for soaking up the delicious mushroom sauce. And to accompany the dish, a dry white wine such as a Chardonnay would be your best choice, elegantly highlighting the flavors of the porcini. Enjoy your meal!
