Low Fat Veal Marsala-EGG/BUTTER FREE

Dear Readers,



One of my favorite dishes is veal Marsala. However, when it is prepared at restaurants it is typically dredged in oil and butter. As a result, I never order this dish anymore so I knew it was time to create my own healthier version of veal Marsala. Remember the goal is keep a nice savory flavor of Marsala and veal. Try my recipe and you won't feel guilty eating it.

Ingredients:

.75 lb veal cutlets for scallopini (3 thin pieces)
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 tbsp onion (diced)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley (minced)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1- Rinse veal pieces and place on plate. Do not pat dry.
2- Pour the flour on a dish and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Mix the flour, salt and pepper together. Place each veal piece in the flour and then shake dry. Place eat breaded piece on a separate plate. Remember do not dredge veal in flour. A very light coat is sufficient.
3- Spray a pan with olive oil Pam and place the veal pieces in it. Cook on medium until one side is lightly brown. Then in about 4 minutes turn veal and cook for another 4 minutes. When browned place the veal on a separate dish and set aside. The pan will have great cooking bits which you want to keep. So to this pan add the olive oil, garlic, and onion. Cook for 3 minutes and then add the Marsala wine and water. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until all the brown bites are loose and whisk so the mixture is well mixed and not lumpy. Add the veal pieces into the Marsala mixture and sprinkle some pepper and a little salt. Cook for an additional
5-8 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick you can always add an additional 1 tbsp of water and Marsala wine.
4- Serve veal with a little sauce and sprinkle some parsley on top.

**You can add mushrooms to this dish. I didn't have any in my refrigerator so I left them out. You would add them when you cook the onion and garlic**

**This dish is light and tastes great. There is no butter and I didn't cook the veal in oil. Remember to cook the veal in PAM cooking spray. This saves calories and fat from the dish. This dish only has 1/2 tbsp olive oil to cook the onions and garlic when making the sauce. EGG FREE DISH**

**Scallopini means: Scaloppine (plural and diminutive of scaloppa - a small scallop, i.e. a thinly sliced cut of meat).**
