How to Make Escalope De Veau Calvados

  1. **Prepare Brandy Cream Sauce:** In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of sliced apples and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat ½ cup of Calvados brandy.
  4. Carefully ignite the brandy (in a well-ventilated area!).
  5. Stir in ½ cup of demi-glace and 1 cup of heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked apple and mushroom mixture. Keep warm.
  7. **Prepare Escalopes:** Place ½ cup of all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  8. Coat each veal escalope (about 4, 4-ounce cutlets) evenly in the seasoned flour.
  9. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  10. Add the veal escalopes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness, turning once.
  11. Serve the veal escalopes immediately, generously drizzled with the warm brandy cream sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
