Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté shallots until translucent.

  2. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet, brown for 5 minutes, then stir in broth and white wine, cooking for 3 minutes.

  3. Incorporate 1/2 cup cream, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer briefly.

  4. Combine 2 tablespoons cream with 2 tablespoons flour to form a slurry; add it to the sauce, bringing it to a boil while stirring to prevent lumps.

  5. Stir in fresh parsley, season with salt and pepper, then remove the sauce from heat and cover to keep warm.

  6. Pound pork cutlets to approximately 1/4-inch thickness.

  7. Whisk together 3 tablespoons flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a separate bowl.

  8. Melt unsalted butter in a clean skillet over medium heat.

  9. Dredge each cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then pan-fry for 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked.

  10. Place cooked cutlets on a serving platter, ladle the warm mushroom sauce over them, and serve.
