Veal Marsala

pgserver6's Note:

This is a recipe from Casa Rillo, my favorite Italian restaurant. Another way that Joey, the chef, would serve his Veal Marsala would be to add artichoke hearts, some sauteed prosciutto, and some sprinkled cheese on top. My mouth is starting to water (need to visit again soon)!

Made this for my wife and she was in heaven. She said if I made it for her again she would mow the lawn. Guess what I am making next weekend?

This is absolutely sinful. We followed the recipe almost exactly, just doubled the mushrooms. There was extra sauce, so we served it on a piece of toasted Italian Bread for lunch. The next morning we spooned it over poached eggs on toast. How's that for stretching things? Thanks for such a wonderful recipe.
