Red Sauce Changes 7/16

Pork Marsala

Mushrooms, Charred Onions, Thyme

(replacing the sausage on main course)

The chicken Marsala dish dates back to the beginning of the 19th century in the town of Marsala, Sicily.  The origins are rooted to English settlement--Marsala wine is a fortified wine, made in both dry and sweet styles.

The Salty Pig’s preparation starts with  a 7 oz pounded thin piece of pork cutlet,  found in the hind leg of the pig.  We will dredge the cutlet in flour and pan fry till cooked through.  Oyster mushrooms and maitake mushrooms will be sauteed in the same pan along with charred onions and deglazed with Marsala wine, pork stock, and butter. Thyme sprigs will also be used to flavor the dish. (Allergies: gluten, allium*, alcohol)
