Ingredients

  • 800 g Meat, veal, shoulder

  • 0.25 teaspoons Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary, fresh

  • 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh

  • 24 pieces Basil, fresh

  • 8 pieces Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 100 g Cheese, Parmesan, grated

  • 40 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 3 spoons Oil, olive

  • 2 piece Shallot

  • 240 ml Soup base, beef, cube

  • 1 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 4 pieces Spices, ginger, ground

Steps

  1. Rinse the veal cutlets under running water and dry them well with paper towels. If necessary, pound them with a meat mallet to thin them out. Arrange the cutlets on a clean work surface and season with thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Place 3 basil leaves and a slice of prosciutto on each cutlet. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the prosciutto, then roll the cutlets into rolls, securing them with toothpicks if needed.

  2. Spread flour on a shallow plate and coat the prepared rolls in it (remove any excess flour). Peel and finely chop the shallot. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan and brown the rolls until golden brown. Turn them during cooking to ensure they are evenly browned on all sides. Remove the browned rolls from the pan and keep them warm on a plate.

  3. Add one tablespoon of oil to the pan and sauté the chopped shallot. Deglaze with broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the caramelized bits from cooking the meat. Add a bay leaf and thyme leaves. Season the sauce with pepper and salt to taste. Return the browned veal rolls to the sauce and let them cook for 2 minutes, then turn them, cover the pan, and cook for another 4 minutes to allow the cheese inside the rolls to melt.

  4. Serve the prepared rolls on plates and pour the sauce over them. Accompany with rice, polenta, roasted potatoes, or vegetables.
