Veal Spiedini

6 servings
cooking time 10 minutes

Ingredients
2 ½ lbs leg cut veal cutlets (1kg), thinly sliced and pounded each about 12 inches ( 30cm) in length (11 cutlets)
6 tablespoons whipped butter, at room temperature
½ cup plain Italian bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped onion
3 cloves minced garlic
½ cup chopped parsley leaves
½ cup grated Pecorino Romano
6 oz. grated cacciocavallo ( 170g)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
36 fresh bay leaves (or substitute dry bay)
2 large red onions, peeled and cut into wedges, leaves separated
12 (8-inch long) (20cm) bamboo skewers, soaked in water

Directions
On a clean cutting board, lay out the pounded veal cutlets.

Cut each cutlet across in 1/3rd’s, to make 3 (4-inch) (10cm) long pieces from every cutlet.
Season each piece with salt and pepper, then place ½ teaspoon of softened whipped butter on each slice and spread it evenly across.

In a mixing bowl, add the bread crumbs, onions, garlic, parsley, and both of the grated cheeses, season with cracked black pepper and toss well to mix.

Drizzle the bread crumb mixture with the olive oil to moisten the crumbs, and mix well with your hands to incorporate.

Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on each slice and roll up, tucking in the sides as you go, spring roll fashion, to secure the filling inside. Some veal rolls will be longer than others, and can be cut in half to even out.
Save the extra rolls to make 1 more skewer.

Top each veal roll with 1 fresh bay leaf and 1 red onion wedge, and then place 3 of the topped rolls on 1 skewer, so that each skewer has 3 of everything on it.

You should make 12 skewers with 3 rolls per skewer, by using the extra meat you trimmed from the longer rolls.

Place on a pre-greased hot grill, and grill for about 2 minutes on each side, brushing again with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

If you do not have a grill, you can place under the broiler about 8-10 inches (20-25cm)  from the flame, and watch carefully, cooking for 2 minutes per side.

Stuffed Veal Cutlet – Bracioline Ripiene

Depending upon where you are in Italy braciole can be either flat cutlets or rolled up scallops. In this case they’re rolled up, and the filling is spread over them prior to the rolling. Tasty veal rollups!

Serves 4
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pound — 500 g — or about 8 veal cutlets
4 ounces (100 g) lean veal, minced
1½ oz (40 g) lean prosciutto, minced
1½ oz (40 g) veal marrow, ground to a coarse paste (see below)
2/3 Cup grated parmigiano
1 large egg
salt and pepper to taste
butcher’s twine
a small onion, minced
a small carrot, minced
a 6-inch stick of celery, minced
a slice of pancetta, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup (125 ml) tomato sauce
½cup dry white wine (optional)

Directions
Note: The marrow is optional; increase the prosciutto if you leave it out. If you do choose to include it (it will give the dish a satiny texture), ask your local butcher for it or check an oriental market.

And now the instructions:
Pound the cutlets well with a meat pounder or the flat of a wide knife frequently dipped in water to thin them.

Mix the remaining veal, the prosciutto, the marrow, and the cheese together, adding the egg last to bind the mixture; season it with a pinch of pepper (salt shouldn’t be necessary because of the prosciutto and the Parmigiano). Stretch the cutlets out and spread the mixture over them, then roll them up and tie them with string.

Mince the onion, celery, carrot, and pancetta. Melt the butter in a skillet over a medium flame and, when the onion’s lightly browned, add the veal cutlets, seasoning them with salt and pepper.

When the cutlets are browned, add the tomato sauce and a little water (or the wine), cover partially, and simmer them till they’re done, (15-20 minutes, though I usually go by eye).

Remove the strings before serving.

These stuffed cutlets can also be roasted in the oven. While you’re preparing them, preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the cutlets on a rack, baste them with olive oil and salt, and roast them till they’re done (about a half hour), turning and basting them once or twice.

The recipe will serve four to six as a second course or two to four as a main course. (It’s from a cookbook I was working on before I began translating Artusi.) A wine? A light, zesty red.

Yield: 4 servings veal rollups.
