Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3/4 lb. scallopini veal
  • 1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
  • 3 Tbsp. shallots, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup Madeira sauce
  • 1 package Knorr Swiss Hunter sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. tarragon

Instructions

  4. Add Madeira sauce, water, tomato paste, and sauce mix; mix well.
  5. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in tarragon before serving.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of smoked paprika to the sauce. If you don't have Madeira, a dry white wine can work as a substitute. For a gluten-free option, use cornstarch instead of flour to dredge the veal. Fresh herbs like parsley can also enhance the dish's freshness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Veal Chassuer over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or alongside sautéed green beans for a complete meal. A light salad with a citrus vinaigrette can complement the richness of the dish. This recipe pairs beautifully with Shrimp And Asparagus Appetizer for a delightful surf-and-turf experience.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Avoid microwaving, as it can toughen the veal.
