- 1 1/2-ounce package dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chopped shallots (about 6 large)
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 1/2-ounce package dried morel mushrooms
- 2 cups hot water
- 4 tablespoons (or more) olive oil
- 12 ounces assorted fresh wild mushrooms (such as oyster and stemmed shiitake), sliced
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 pound veal cutlets (each about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick or pounded, if necessary, to 1/4-inch thickness), cut into 3-inch pieces
- Finely grind dried porcini in spice grinder or coffee grinder. Transfer 2 tablespoons ground porcini to heavy medium saucepan (reserve any remaining ground porcini for another use). Add wine, 1/2 cup shallots and vinegar to saucepan. Boil until porcini broth is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Place dried morels in small bowl. Pour 2 cups hot water over; let stand until morels soften, about 30 minutes. Drain; reserve soaking liquid. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fresh mushrooms and remaining 1/2 cup shallots and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add drained morels and stir 3 minutes. Add porcini broth, 3/4 cup reserved morel soaking liquid and whipping cream; simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Remove sauce from heat; cover to keep warm.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium, adding more oil to skillet if necessary. Divide veal among 4 plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over veal and serve.
- Dried porcini mushrooms and dried morel mushrooms are available at specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
