Apricot Veal Rolls on Mushroom Rice

Submitted by Jewelies

"The original recipe uses steak. I prefer thin veal. It also used a slightly hotter oven, 200C. My oven cooks quite hot so I changed this to 180C."

Yum, Yum and Yum is all I can say this is delicious. Had to make changes as to what I could buy from the store, couldn't get apricot nectar so I bought a can of apricots and blended, as they were in natural juice I added 1 Tablespoon apricot jam for sweetness. I also could not get a pack of onion soup mix only onion sauce pack so I used that. I bought 8 small veal medallions, used 1 small onion as I was only making for 2, added 3 slices of bacon, we can only buy streaky bacon here, so if making for 4 you would need more, if you can not buy normal good size bacon. Just wanted to share how to adapt if you can not get exact ingredients, but I am sure it turned out pretty close to how it should taste. I can only say this was awesome and we loved this, did less cooking time to account for small rolls. I served over wild rice cooked in vegetable stock personal preference and added some fresh chopped chives as well as the mushrooms. I would recommend this highly it really is soooo goood. A wonderful post easy quick and so full of flavour. Excellent Jewelies thanks for sharing
