Stuffed Veal Breast

"This is for a breast of veal, with bones, and a pocket cut into it for stuffing. It is important whatever you choose to stuff it with is moist so that the breast does not dry out during cooking. The original recipe calls for sweet pork sausages, but I like to use flavored chicken sausages, such as spiced apple or feta and spinach."

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).
