BracioleA classic Italian dish of rolled stuffed beef

 Braciole is a classic Italian dish of rolled stuffed beef. It is typically made with veal but can also be made with beef, pork, or lamb. The meat is pounded thin and then stuffed with a mixture of herbs, cheese, and breadcrumbs. It is then rolled up and tied with string. The braciole is then braised in a sauce of tomatoes, onions, and garlic.

 

This dish is a great way to use leftover herbs and cheese. It is also a good option for a weeknight meal, as it can be made ahead of time and then cooked in the oven.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 pound veal cutlets, pounded thin

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/41 teaspoon salt  

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine the Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Lay the veal cutlets out on a flat surface. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the cutlets.

Roll up the cutlets tightly and tie them with kitchen string.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Dredge the braciole in the flour and brown on all sides.

Transfer the broccoli to a baking dish.

Add crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in the same skillet.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Pour the sauce over the braciole.

Cover and bake for 1 hour, or until the broccoli is cooked through.

Remove the braciole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with the sauce and pasta.

Tips:

 

If you can't find veal cutlets, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or pork chops.

You can also add other ingredients to the cheese mixture, such as chopped nuts, raisins, or sun-dried tomatoes.

If you don't have kitchen string, you can use toothpicks to secure the braciole.

Serve the braciole with a side of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine.

Enjoy!
