📊 Nutritional Information
Sicilian-style scaloppine ai funghi is one of those dishes that feels both comforting and refined.
Thin slices of tender veal, lightly floured and gently sautéed in butter, meet the rich aroma of mushrooms, garlic and herbs - a combination that captures the soul of home cooking in Sicily.
Perfect for a cosy autumn dinner or a relaxed family lunch, this dish brings together simplicity, elegance and those deep, warming flavours that make mushroom season so irresistible.
👨🍳 Preparation
- 1
Clean and slice the mushrooms. Heat a drizzle of olive oil with a garlic clove in a frying pan, then sauté the mushrooms over high heat until their liquid evaporates. Season with salt, add chopped parsley and set aside.
- 2
Pat the veal slices dry with kitchen paper, then dust lightly with flour on both sides, shaking off any excess.
- 3
In a wide pan, melt the butter. Add the floured veal along with torn sage leaves and cook over high heat until golden on each side.
- 4
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the sautéed mushrooms back into the pan and let everything cook together for a couple of minutes so the flavours meld.
- 5
Serve the veal scaloppine hot, spooning over the cooking juices.
💡 Tips and Variations
Add a splash of cream for a silkier sauce.
For a deeper flavour, try using porcini mushrooms when in season.
📦 Storage
- • Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
