  10. 1 cup breadcrumbs
  11. About 4 ounces olive oil
  12. 2 slices prosciutto di Parma
  13. 2 slices whole-milk mozzarella
  14. 1 ounce olive oil
  15. 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
  16. 1 ounce all-purpose flour
  17. 6 ounces Marsala wine, such as Lombardo
  18. 6 ounces chicken stock
  19. Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
  20. Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
  21. 2 ounces butter
  22. 1 ounce chopped fresh parsley
  23. 1 ounce olive oil

Instructions

  1. For the risotto: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Toast the rice, then add the chopped onion and cook until light brown with a nutty aroma. Keep stirring to prevent sticking during this process. Deglaze with the white wine and add the porcini broth. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring the whole time to prevent sticking. Add more liquid as needed. Fold in the porcini at the end.
  2. For the veal chop cutlet: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. Pound out the veal chop to about 3/8 inch thickness. Put the flour in one shallow bowl, the whisked eggs in another and the breadcrumbs in a third. Dust the veal in the flour first, then dip in the egg wash and finish in the breadcrumbs to coat.
  4. Pour the olive oil into an ovensafe pan. Add the veal chop to the pan and coat one side in the olive oil, then flip it over right away so there’s olive oil on both sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, flipping the cutlet halfway through.
  5. For the Marsala wine sauce: Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for a few minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and add the Marsala and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper, then finish with the butter and chopped parsley
  6. Remove the veal pan from the oven and place the prosciutto on top of the cutlet followed by the mozzarella. Return it to the oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes
  7. For the spinach bed. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook until beginning to brown, then add the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is just wilted, then transfer to a serving plate; do not overcook.
  8. Top the spinach with a serving of the risotto, followed by the veal chop and Marsala sauce.

This recipe is poorly written if it is the supposed take on the restaurant’s version. Cook temp for the veal chop should be 425 degrees.  The bread crumbs should be a parmesan/bread crumb mix. There also should be garlic in the Marsala wine sauce.

This was so yummy.  If I ever get a chance to get to the restaurant, I’ll be super excited, but in the meantime, thanks so much for the recipe.
