STUFFED ROAST VEAL BREAST

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the stuffing ingredients.
• Put the veal breast meat side up on a flat surface. Using a sharp, thin knife, slice along the widest side of the breast, as close to the bones as possible, to create a deep pocket. Push the stuffing into the cavity and press on it to distribute it evenly over the bones. Tie the open end shut with soft kitchen string, wrapping it twice to secure the stuffing inside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large casserole. Sprinkle the meat all over with salt, and when the oil is hot, brown the meat for a total of 30 minutes over medium heat, turning occasionally so it is uniformly brown. Add the sliced onion and water; cover, reduce heat to very low and cook 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the meat to a platter. In the remaining juices (about 1 1/2 cups), arrange the potatoes in one layer. Put the roast on top, meat side up, and cook, uncovered, in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the meat is nicely browned on top and the potatoes are cooked through.
• At this point, the roast is cooked enough so the ribs can be twisted and pulled away from the meat. Slice the meat, following the shape of the ribs and slicing right through the cartilage bones. Serve each person one slice with potatoes and pan juices.

• Stir the boursin and goats cheese until well combined, set to one side.
• Slice veal down the middle, length ways, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open out and with a meat mallet pound until is of equal thickness and a rough rectangle shape. Season with pepper, salt and garlic powder.
• Place spinach leaves down the centre of the veal to form about a 2 inch wide strip, lay peppers on top of spinach, arrange sun-dried tomatoes on pepper.
• Set aside about 1/4 cup of cheese mixture for the sauce. Spoon remaining cheese mixture in an even log over the tomatoes, finally arrange basil leaves on the top of the cheese.
• Fold veal over filling,and roll up, secure by tying kitchen string at several intervals down the length, also wrap the string once lengthwise around the veal to secure ends.
• Cover ends of veal with aluminum foil to enclose filling completely. Cover veal and reserved cheese separately and chill for at least 6 hours. This can prepared a day ahead of time.
• Melt the butter and olive oil in a large fryimg pan over medium high heat. Remove foil from ends of veal, keep to put back on. Brown veal on all sides, turning frequently, about 10 Min's. Remove from pan, replace foil on ends and drape bacon across the veal and tuck ends under.

• Add water and stock granules, bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, for a few minutes.
• Whisk in lemon juice, capers and parsley, over a low heat gradually whisk in butter and 1/4 cup reserved cheese mixture.
• Season with pepper.
• Mix a little water with cornflour, add to sauce, turn the heat up slightly and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens.
• To Serve: Remove foil, bacon and string from veal, slice into even slices, arrange on a plate and drizzle sauce over. I served mine with dilled carrots. So serve with your favourite veg and mash if desired.
• I served this for three and it was perfect but I did not serve any starchy carbs with, so it may work for 4, but I would suggest upping veal to 1kg for 4.
