Veal Scallopine with Asparagus

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

A quick and easy veal recipe featuring fresh asparagus and veal cutlets with an easy marsala wine sauce. Veal scalloping with asparagus is perfect for both dinner parties and weeknight suppers!

Veal Scallopine with Asparagus

There’s something about spring that just makes me think, asparagus, asparagus, asparagus.  I am drawn to asparagus like a moth to a flame, and while I am always perfectly happy to have it steamed with just a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt, if I can incorporate it into a full-on elegant dinner, so much the better!  That’s one of the things I love about this recipe.  The other is that it is one of those priceless recipes that you can pull out for a fancy dinner party…or make on a regular old Tuesday night.  That’s how quick and wonderful it is.  Because on some Tuesday nights, you need and deserve a dinner party dinner.  Right?  Right.

For the all-important asparagus, while the thicker ones will work just fine, I like the thinner stalks for this one.  There’s something so delicate and scrumptious about them, and this is the time of year when they start getting easier to find.  As for the veal, pound it thin if it’s not thin already.  You’re going to want to cook it fast so it stays tender, and the thinner it is the less time it will spend in your frying pan.  And last but not least…the mozzarella.  Go for the best mozzarella you can find.  Even my plain old neighborhood supermarket is now carrying the fresh mozzarella in water, and if you can get your hands on that version, it will make this dish sing.  Well, that and the asparagus.

Happy spring, everyone!

    I recently discovered your blog and i have to say i already adore it and can’t wait to try some of the recipes! I’m not the biggest fan of veal but looking at the ingredients i think maybe chicken would work instead? Do you think that would work? (might even throw a sneaky bit of crispy bacon in there too :) )

      Helena, thank you! And yes, I think chicken would work perfectly fine in this one. Put a boneless chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it with mallet until it is nice and thin- about 1/4 inch or so – and it should be scrumptious. And of course, bacon makes EVERYTHING better. :)

    This looks so, so gorgeous. I, too, am not a fan of veal, but chicken breasts seem to be the standard sub. Think of Marsala and Piccata (how do you spell that?), you often see chicken subbed for veal in those. The asparagus is perfect with this, isn’t it.

    You know, you make everything look so simple! No chef intimidation here. ;)

    I’ve been eating asparagus all day every day for the past few weeks and LOVING it! I’m going to turn into one…I’m convinced. Now I feel kind of compelled to smother it in mozzarella…love.

      Smothering ANYTHING in mozzarella is a good plan. Especially asparagus. :)

    Hi Kate – This dish is on tap for the weekend ! Our Farmer’s Market opens Sat and asparagus will be there front and center I’m sure. Thanks for recipe, but in step 4 shouldn’t the main ingredients be switched ? !
    Thanks for the website – I go there a lot.
