Veal Spiedini Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a medium hot charcoal fire, preheat a gas grill, or the broiler. Place grill rack or broiler pan 4 inches from heat.
• Place cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thickness. (If you don't have a meat pounder or mallet just use an empty wine bottle).
• Cut veal into 3 x 2 inch pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut mozzarella into 1 x 1/2 inch thick sticks and place a piece of cheese across the center of each cutlet. Sprinkle with parsley and garlic, roll up each piece of veal from one of the short sides.
• Skewer rolls onto two metal or bamboo skewers (hold skewers in the same hand, parallel and about an inch apart). Rolls should barely be touching. Skewer all meat in this way.
• Brush rolls with olive oil. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, patting them so they stick. Grill/broil skewers, turning once, until meat is browned and the cheese is slightly melted (about 10 minutes).
• Slide rolls off skewers and onto a warm serving platter. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix cornstarch, paprika, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pat veal chunks dry and toss them with cornstarch mixture to coat.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add veal pieces to the pot, one by one, and brown on all sides. Set aside leftover cornstarch.
• Reduce heat slightly and add onion, carrot, celery, and red chile pepper; cook until fragrant, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in broth and wine. Deglaze pot using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Add potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and bay leaf. Stir and cover.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until veal is fork-tender, potatoes are cooked, and liquid has thickened, about 1 hour. Add some water from time to time to keep the stew from burning, but don't let it get soupy. Add leftover cornstarch if the stew needs thickening at the end.
