Dinner with an Italian theme. Substitute turkey or pork cutlets for the Veal.
Veal with Parsley and Marsala Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes12oz (360gr) veal cutlets, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (4oz,120ml) Marsala, substitute Madeira, cream sherry
1/4 cup (2oz, 60ml) beef broth substitute chicken or a 1/2 tsp beef base
1 tbs dried parsley or 2 tbs fresh
1 tbs olive oil
In large, nonstick skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Add veal and quickly brown on both sides, about one minute each. Remove to an oven proof serving platter. Keep veal in a warm oven (125F, 75C) while finishing sauce. Add the Marsala, beef stock and parsley to the skillet and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Let sauce cook rapidly until reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over veal and serve.
Potatoes Cooked with Wine and Olives Preparation and cooking time: 35 minutes10oz (300gr) potatoes 2 medium or 12 - 15 new potatoes (which are the size of walnuts)
2 tsp dried rosemary or a sprig fresh
8 - 10 olives any color or combination you have I used both Greek and green
1/3 cup (3oz, 90ml) white wine
Leave new potatoes whole; cut regular potatoes in fourths the long way, then in thirds. Put everything into a small saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, gently for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking for another 15 - 25 minutes, depending on size, until potatoes are done. Stir occasionally. When done, a knife should go in easily and the wine should have reduced to a thick syrup. Serve.
