Topping

Method

Preparation of Eggplant

  1. 1

    Slice and Salt the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch thick rounds and sprinkle with 1 tsp of salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Rinse and Dry

    Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggplant

    In a skillet, heat 1 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Cooking the Veal

  1. 4

    Prepare the Veal

    Season the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Breading Setup

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 6

    Bread the Veal

    Coat each veal cutlet in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 7

    Cook the Veal

    In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded veal cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Making the Mushroom Marsala Sauce

  1. 8

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the veal, add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent.

  2. 9

    Add Mushrooms

    Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and browned.

  3. 10

    Deglaze with Marsala

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. 11

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the butter and chopped parsley, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.

Assembly
