Instructions

- Dredge the veal in the flour mixture and brown in hot butter.
- Add chicken broth, sherry, instant minced onions, and sliced mushrooms to the pan.

- Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of wild and domestic mushrooms. If you don't have sherry, a dry white wine can be a great substitute. Ensure the veal is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking. Browning the meat well before simmering adds depth to the sauce. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra umami.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the veal over a bed of hot cooked rice, ideally a blend of wild and domestic rice for texture and flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. For a heartier meal, consider a side of Skillet Stuffing or Garlic Mashed Potatoes to complement the rich sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to prevent drying out. This dish can also be frozen; just ensure it's well-sealed to avoid freezer burn.
