ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, sliced in half
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup white wine
- 3 tablespoons white wine
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (heaping)
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs, freshly grated (heaping)
- 1⁄2 lb italian sweet sausage, removed from their casings (I use flavored chicken sausages such as spiced apple)
- breast of veal, with a pocket cut into it by the butcher
- 5 slices bacon or 5 slices pancetta
- 1 shallot, sliced thick
- 5 -6 cups veal broth or 5 -6 cups chicken broth
directions
- Preheat oven to 275°F; rub the inside of a mixing bowl with the garlic, then chop it and add to the bowl.
- Stir in egg, 3 tablespoons wine, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; mix in parsley, bread crumbs, and sausage.
- Stuff the pocket of the veal breast, gently pressing it into the corners; truss pocket closed with small skewers.
- Lay the bacon or pancetta in the bottom of your braising pan, cover with shallot, and lay the veal on top; cover, and cook on the stove top, on low heat, until the bacon sweats and the shallot softens, about 15 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of wine and bring to a simmer; let reduce until their is just a film of liquid remaining in the pan.
- Add 1/2 cup broth and reduce again; add in remaining broth to just cover 3/4 of the meat.
- Cover pan with parchment paper, then the lid, and place in oven until fork tender, about 2 hours.
- Remove lid and parchment, then baste meat with pan juices to form a glaze; return to oven for 5 minutes, then repeat.
- Remove from oven and let cool in liquid; slice and serve warm with cooking juices (can also be chilled and served cold).

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
