This mouth-watering recipe may also be prepared with chicken or pork
Veal cutlet, pounded, ¼ inch thin - 4 each
Olive oil - 3 Tablespoons
Kosher salt - to taste
Pepper, fresh ground - to taste

Stuffing
Olive oil - 1 Tablespoon
Butter - 1 Tablespoon
Onion, chopped - ¼ cup
Crimini mushrooms, chopped - ½ pound
White wine - ½ cup
Sage leaves, fresh, minced - 10 each
Fresh Mozzarella, chopped - 8 ounces
Kosher salt - to taste
Pepper, fresh ground - to taste
Parmesano Reggiano, grated - ½ cup

Preheat oven to 400f. Over medium heat, sauté onion in butter and olive oil just till they start to turn color, about 10 minutes. Add chopped mushrooms; sauté for an additional 10 minutes. Deglaze pan with wine and cook till liquid reduces by about half. Stir in sage, adjust seasoning; remove from heat and cool to room temp. After cooling, stir in chopped Mozzarella.

On a flat surface, evenly divide stuffing between veal pieces – placing stuffing on one half of each cutlet. Fold the other half over stuffing; pinch edges together with the back of a knife. (Although “sealed” they will open slightly during cooking.) Heat 3T olive oil to smoke point in large sauté pan and brown both sides. When cheese barely begins to melt, transfer stuffed veal to a sheet tray and place in oven for about 8 minutes. Switch oven to “broil,” top each piece with Parmesan and broil till golden brown.

Serve over sautéed spinach. (Pictured: spinach sautéed with pancetta and onion.)

Buon Appetito!
