Pork and Marsala

Submitted by David Reidy

"I was a big fan of veal marsala but decided on ethical grounds to stop eating veal. Pork happened to be available in similar steak cuts so I started using that. This recipe comes from a number of weeks of playing around with ingredients."

I love veal marsala as well- but same reasons I stopped buying veal. I buy instead extra thin cut pork cutlets, scallopine style- and soak them in milk overnight- it tenderizes them & gives them a "veal" flavor... I also added about 1lb of mushrooms & increased the wine. I serve with fettuicine & asparagus... superb!!

Very tasty and surprisingly easy. The only reason I am not giving it the full five stars is because the sauce doesn't seem to cope well with extra veggies and things being added. Not to worry, the recipe never said it would, this is just my preference. I will definitely make this again, leaving out the extra veggies I wanted - or at least adding them on the side and doubling the amount of sauce! Thank you David!

This is a great way to prepare pork. The sauce was really good. I think I will double the amount next time. We had ours over buttered noodles.

Made this for dinner tonight and I will say that I almost hurt myself it was so good. I used a thicker cut pork chop so I cooked in on low for longer and I added fresh sliced mushrooms, but other than that, I followed the recipe completely. The sauce was just thick enough and the flavor was divine.
