Veal Rolls With Herbed Farmer Cheese Recipes

VEAL ROLLS STUFFED WITH PROSCIUTTO AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Put the slices of veal between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a flat mallet without breaking the tissues. Set aside. Combine the prosciutto and pork in a mixing bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet and cook the onion, stirring, until it is wilted. Add this to the mixing bowl. Add the garlic, bread crumbs, nutmeg, pepper, lemon rind, egg and cheese. Blend well. Lay out the pieces of veal on a flat surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon an equal portion of the filling on each slice. Wrap the meat around the filling, folding and tucking the ends in envelope fashion. Tie each roll neatly in 2 places with string. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge the rolls all over in flour and shake off any excess. Select a heavy skillet large enough to hold the rolls in 1layer without crowding them. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and, when it is quite hot but not browned, add the veal rolls. Cook, turning occasionally, until the are nicely browned all over, 3 or 4 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking over moderately low heat for about 15 minutes. Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the chicken broth. Bring to the boil and let cook over high heat for about 5 minutes. Remove the strings and serve the veal rolls with the sauce spooned over.

VEAL ROLLS WITH HERBED FARMER CHEESE

Steps:

• Place each piece of veal between 2 sheets of clear plastic wrap. Using a heavy flat-bottomed mallet, pound each piece of veal as thin as possible without breaking the fibers of the meat. Sprinkle the veal on both sides with salt and pepper. Spread each slice flat.
• Put the cheese in a mixing bowl and add salt, pepper, finely chopped basil, thyme, rosemary and oregano. Blend well.
• Spoon an equal portion of the cheese mixture onto each veal slice, placing it toward the bottom end of each slice but leaving a margin.
• Roll each slice tightly over and over itself to enclose the fillings. Dredge lightly in flour. Shake off excess. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, pour the wine into a saucepan. Add the coarsely chopped basil leaves and stems and shallots. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 3 or 4 tablespoons. Strain the sauce into another saucepan.
• Bring the sauce to a boil and add the cold butter a few cubes at a time, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When smooth add the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Pour the oil into a skillet and when it is very hot add the veal rolls seam-side down. As they brown turn them until nicely browned all over. If the rolls seem not cooked through, place them on a heatproof dish and bake about 2 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Arrange 2 veal rolls on each of 4 warm serving plates. Garnish each with 1 basil leaf. Spoon a little of the sauce over each serving.
