This recipe is ideal for a special dinner or to impress your guests. Let's get started! A brief history Scallop is a culinary term that comes from the French language, referring to a thin slice of meat, usually veal, that is pounded and cooked quickly. This technique has been used over time to achieve tender and juicy meat. Combined with mushrooms and creamy sauce, veal scallop becomes a special dish, appreciated in many culinary cultures. Necessary ingredients To prepare this delicious veal scallop with mushrooms, you will need the following ingredients: - 400 g veal (choose a quality piece, ideally from the leg) - 200 g fresh mushrooms (champignon or wild mushrooms, as preferred) - 3-4 cloves of garlic - 50 g butter - 100 ml white wine (opt for a dry one for a more complex taste) - 100 ml broth (either veal or vegetable) - Paprika (sweet or spicy, according to preferences) - Salt and pepper (to taste) - Flour (to dust the meat) - Oil (for frying) - 3 tablespoons thick cream (for a creamy and rich sauce) Step by step: How to prepare veal scallop with mushrooms 1. Preparing the meat: Start by slicing the veal into thin slices, about 1 cm thick. Use a sharp knife to get uniform slices. Then, with a meat mallet, gently pound each slice on both sides until they become tender. 2. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of each slice of meat. This step is essential to give the dish a special flavor. 3. Dusting with flour: Dredge each slice in flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. This will help achieve a golden and crispy crust during frying. 4. Heating the oil: In a large skillet, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. Make sure it is hot enough to fry the meat but not so hot that it smokes. 5. Frying the meat: Place the slices of meat in the skillet without overcrowding. Let them brown for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and nicely browned. Remove them from the skillet and keep warm on a plate covered with aluminum foil. 6. Preparing the sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Then, add the sliced garlic and sauté for one minute until golden. Be careful not to burn it, as it will become bitter. 7. Adding the mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until they become soft and start to release their juices. The mushrooms add a rich umami flavor to the dish. 8. Combining the ingredients: Return the slices of meat to the skillet, add the white wine and broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and let everything simmer over medium heat for 20-25 minutes. This process will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. 9. Finalizing the sauce: After the time has expired, add the cream and paprika, mixing well. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper as preferred. Let it come to a final boil to blend all the flavors. 10. Serving: Now, the veal scallop with mushrooms is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it warm, alongside pasta, mashed potatoes, or polenta. A fresh green salad or grilled vegetables are excellent accompaniments to this dish. Useful tips for a perfect result - Choose quality veal, which will make a difference in the final taste. - Use fresh mushrooms, as they have a much more intense flavor compared to canned ones. - You can experiment with different types of white wine; each will add a unique note to your sauce. - If you want an even richer sauce, you can also add some green olives or capers at the last moment.
