Add gsrlic and the marsala and 1/4 cup of chicken or beef stock and boil the liquid briskly over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape in any browned frsgments clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the veal to the skillet, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, basting the veal now and then with the pan juices. To serve transfer the scallops to a heated platter.
