Sweet and Savory Stuffed Veal Rolls with a Mustard Pan Sauce
- 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 12 large green olives, pitted, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup golden raisins (a generous handful)
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (a couple of generous handfuls), chopped
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (a rounded palmful)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/3 pounds (8 pieces) veal shoulder scallopini
- 8 slices prosciutto di Parma
- Toothpicks
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (twice around the pan)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (from 4 sprigs)
- 1 rounded tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup chicken stock or broth (eyeball it)
- To make the filling, in a medium bowl, combine the pine nuts, olives, raisins, parsley, lemon zest, Parmigiano, and mozzarella.
- Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning; this is your last chance to make sure the filling is up to par.
- Lay the 8 pieces of scallopini out on the cutting board without overlapping any of the pieces.
- Season the meat with a little salt and pepper.
- Lay 1 slice of prosciutto on top of each scallopini.
- If necessary, fold the prosciutto so that it fits the veal pieces without an overhang.
- Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling on the lower half of each slice.
- Starting at the point closest to you, roll each portion away from you into a cigar shape.
- Secure each veal roll with a toothpick.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the EVOO and the butter.
- Once the butter is no longer foaming, add the 8 veal rolls.
- Brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Move the veal rolls over a little, clearing a spot in the skillet to add the garlic, thyme, tomato paste, and onions.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the mustard and chicken stock and continue to cook for 4 minutes.
- Serve the rolls with the sauce poured over them.
