VEAL ROAST A LA FARNESE

A veal roast a la Farnese is always on the menu in Piacenza: mixed roasted meats are usually served but we are preparing the recipe that calls for only veal.

INGREDIENTS FOR 4

600 grams veal
30 grams bacon
200 grams prosciutto crudo
pepper
salt
extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

Contrary to what is generally thought, this recipe is quite simple: patience and careful dosage of best quality ingredients is all you need.

First slice the veal and place the slices on the table each close to the next so it seems like one continuous piece. Add salt and pepper and cover with prosciutto.

Veal Roast a la Farnese: preparation

Proceed to sealing by rolling the various layers until a sausage is formed and tie with a string in various parts so that it does not break during cooking.

Dice the bacon, add  aromatic herbs and cover the roast with this mixture on all sides.

Place the roast in a cooking pot where you have added extra virgin olive oil and saute for about ten minutes on all sides. The flame should be high.

When the roast is brown on all sides, lower the flame and cook for an hour and a half  adding white wine and warm water from time to time.
