Questions about Veal Marsala
What is veal Marsala?
It is a dish of thin veal cutlets, usually lightly floured and pan-fried, served with a sauce made from Marsala wine and pan juices. Mushrooms are a common addition.
How do you stop veal Marsala from turning tough?
Use thin cutlets and cook them quickly in a hot pan, about 1–2 minutes per side; take them out while you reduce the sauce, then return them briefly to coat. Overcooking the veal is the main cause of toughness.
Can you make veal Marsala without Marsala wine?
For a similar sweet, nutty sauce, use dry sherry with a small splash of brandy, or use Madeira. The result will not taste exactly the same, but avoid sweet cooking wine, which can make the sauce cloying.
What do you serve with veal Marsala?
Mashed potatoes, soft polenta or buttered noodles soak up the wine sauce well. Add green vegetables such as green beans or broccoli to balance the rich dish.
Can you make veal Marsala ahead and reheat it?
It is best cooked just before serving, since thin veal can toughen when reheated. If needed, refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and reheat gently in a pan with a splash of stock until steaming hot.
