Main Course: Veal Marsala
2 - 3 pounds veal cutlets, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or unseasoned if desired)
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat oil in a skillet. Dredge veal through breadcrumbs and brown in oil. Reduce heat and add wine and parsley. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes over low heat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese just before serving.
The Skinny: Use low fat Parmesan.
