Ingredients

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine dried porcinis with stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes. Remove porcinis from liquid, rinse under running water, chop finely, and set aside. Strain liquid through a fine sieve and reserve.

Season meat with salt and pepper on both sides and lightly dredge in seasoned flour. (Do not do this until you are ready to cook the pork.) In a skillet over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and saute half of the pork, cooking for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer meat to a warm plate and set aside.

Saute remaining pork in remaining oil and butter, wiping skillet clean between batches if necessary.

Transfer pork to warm plate. Put reserved porcini mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and Madeira on the pan, scraping pan bottom with a wooden spoon. When Madeira has reduced by half, add reserved porcini broth, and cook for 3 minutes or until volume is reduced by half. Add heavy cream and parsley, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and return veal to skillet to heat through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over the top.
