Stuffed Rolls of Veal
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 thin slices veal (1 1/2 pounds)
- 6 ounces provola (young provolone), fresh mozzarella, or Fontina, cut into 1/4 x 1 1/2inch sticks
- 3 plum tomatoes, peeled and seeded (see page 9), cut into 1/4 -inch strips
- Thin lemon slices, optional
- Let the oil and garlic steep in a small bowl 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Toss the bread crumbs with half the infused oil and the parsley.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place two of the veal slices between two sheets of plastic wrap and, with the smooth side of a heavy meat mallet, pound each slice of veal into a rough rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Dont pound the veal too thin, or there is a possibility that the filling will leak during cooking.
- Repeat with the remaining veal.
- Divide the cheese and tomatoes evenly among the slices of veal, placing them along the center of one of the longer edges.
- Sprinkle half the seasoned bread crumbs over the tomatoes and cheese and drizzle on half the remaining infused oil.
- Roll the scallopine around the filling into compact rolls.
- Secure the flap with two toothpicks to keep the rolls intact while they cook.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly brush a baking pan into which the veal rolls fit comfortably with some of the remaining infused oil.
- Arrange the veal side by side and seam side down in the prepared dish.
- Scatter the remaining bread crumbs in an even layer over the veal and drizzle on the remaining infused oil.
- Bake until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the cheese in the filling is melted, about 20 minutes.
- Serve as is or with a slice of lemon.
