Tips & Substitutions
For added depth of flavor, consider using a mix of mushrooms, such as cremini and shiitake. If you don't have Marsala wine, dry sherry or white wine can be good substitutes. Ensure the veal is pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Searing the meat properly will enhance its texture and flavor.
