Beef Scalopini with Porcini Mushrooms

2 servings

30 minutes

Scalopini are thin, beaten escalopes of beef or chicken, they cook in minutes and are easy enough for even a child to make. But if you decide to feed this dish to children, you can replace the wine in the recipe with lemon juice or lemon slices added to the sauce. Otherwise, it's almost Italian beef stroganoff, only without sour cream, and stewed in broth. Scalopini are best served with a green salad or grilled vegetables. Recipe from Luciano Casale, chef of the Salumeria restaurant.
