Veal Braciole with Pan Tomato Sauce

By Douglas M Blatt from Rose Garden Care Center in Toms River, New Jersey

Small dice onion and sweat in olive oil. Add two cloves of garlic, chopped, and sweat together. Add all of the fresh

herbs except for half of the basil. Add the cheese and red pepper flakes. Chop or grind the toasted baguette and

add to mixture. Beat in the eggs. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as well as the moisture content with

chicken stock as needed. Filling should be moist but not wet. Clean the veal and pound out until it is uniform in

thickness. Season the inside with fresh black pepper and salt. Line the meat with the filling and roll up and tie.

Heat an appropriately sized skillet and film with oil. Brown the braciole on each side and reserve to the side. Sweat the

garlic in the pan and deglaze with the wine and chicken stock. Simmer. Add bay leaf. Add tomato product. Reduce.

Place meat into sauce and cover and braise until fork tender- better part of an hour. Remove from sauce, rest, untie,

season and/or reduce sauce. Add the rest of the basil. Do not chop the basil, but pull it apart instead. Slice and spoon

sauce on the plate and arrange slices attractively. Enjoy.

I choose to grill the veal to not loose or cover up the flavors that the farmers have tried so hard to get. I also choose not

to add a sauce and let the natural flavors and juice been tasted. The confit marinade only assists in the flavor of the meat.

The fat back keeps the meat moist while it is being grilled and the herbs and spices only assist in bringing out

the natural flavors.
