Veal Marsala with Mushrooms

Here is another one of those old family recipes that we have had for years!  It seems that it has been a long time since we have had it but it is definitely a favorite either way!  The great thing about this recipe is that if you aren't a big vela fan (I must admit it isn't my favorite meat though I am not likely to pass it up) you can easily substitute the veal for chicken if you want and it is just as delicious and tasty! 

Veal Marsala with Mushrooms

1 pound veal scallops

flour

salt and pepper

8 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced

2 cups (ish) or marsala (or red)

1 can beef consumme

1 can beef broth

In a skillet, saute scallops in half of the garlic and olive oil over  high heat until brown on both sides and transfer to a dish.  Add remaining butter to skillet and cook the mushrooms, scallions and garlic over moderate heat for about 3 minutes.
