Scaloppini is an Italian dish. It consists of thinly sliced meat that is dredged in flour and sauteed in a “reduction sauce”. Utilizing Marsala wine as a reduction sauce is an excellent partnership with our thinly sliced venison. We hope you enjoy this brilliant treat from our November From Field to Table Event team!
