Scaloppine al Marsala is one of the easiest meals to prepare, yet it can be intimidating to some. Growing up, my mom and nonna used to prepare it often.
I remember entering the kitchen and loved being surrounded by the wonderful aroma of Marsala. We always had them with mashed potatoes, a must as a volcano was created for us children by placing some of the juice in the middle of the mashed potatoes.
The tradition continues to this day with my son.
I just purchased veal cutlets from Pete at Personal Gourmet Foods and they are perfectly cut and pounded for me.
Preparing the veal only takes minutes, so I always prepare everything else first and give my undivided attention to the scallops.
Our choice was a green salad with vinaigrette; however, any steamed or sautéed vegetables are a perfect side dish.
