Conti Family Braciolini

This goes with the recipe for the Conti Family Meat Sauce "These are small meat rools. Braciole is typically made in one large roll, but the small ones make serving easier." From the back of the book: "Last Bite - A novel of Culinary Romance" By Nancy Verde Barr, Julia Child's executive chef.
