Preparation

Pound cutlets thin; cut into serving portions. Sprinkle lightly with mixture of flour, salt and pepper.

Sauté garlic in 1 tbsp (15 mL) each of butter and oil. Remove garlic; add cutlets and cook quickly until golden on both sides. Place cutlets in shallow baking dish.

Melt remaining butter in saucepan; add mushrooms, onion and water chestnuts. Sauté until golden. Blend in flour, then add milk to make mushroom sauce. Simmer about 2 min to blend flavours. Stir in wine.

Pour sauce over cutlets; bake in a 350 °F (180 °C) oven for 30 min. Serve over pasta or on a bed of spinach.
