Best 6 Pan Roasted Veal Stuffed With Spinach Recipes

STUFFED VEAL ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place the mushrooms, the 1/2-box defrosted spinach, leaves from the rosemary sprigs, olives, orange zest, and lemon zest into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse to combine to a paste.
• Untie the roast. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing paste evenly over the surface of the veal, generously covering it.
• Reroll the roast and tie it just tightly enough to secure; don't tie too tightly or the filling will all ooze out. The filling will be visible.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the veal roast and sear on all sides until the meat is a deep golden-brown. Place the seared roast into a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix the honey, apricot preserves, and mustard. Rub all the meat surfaces with a thick coating of the apricot-honey mixture, reserving some mixture. Bake for 1 hour, covered. Remove the roast from the oven and baste with remaining apricot-honey mixture. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 15 more minutes. Allow the roast to stand for 10 minutes before slicing. The roast should be juicy and slightly pink in the center.

STUFFED AND ROASTED RACK OF VEAL

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees.
• In a bowl combine the spinach with the egg yolks, ricotta, bread crumbs, salami, garlic,
• 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix well and as smooth as possible. Set aside. Make a pocket in the rack into which the stuffing will go by using a very sharp knife to make an incision in the center of the eye of the rack. Push the knife tip in and insert the knife the entire length of the rack but do not let it come out the other side.
• Remove the knife and insert the handle of a wooden spoon. Work the spoon handle back and fourth to create a pocket or gap that runs from one end of the rack to the other.
• Place the stuffing into a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip. Insert the pastry bag in the pocket of veal and gently squeeze the bag. Using the wooden handle again push the stuffing down as far as it will go and work the stuffing down into the meat until it reaches the unopened end of the rack. Continue to alternate between the bag and the plunging wooden spoon and fill the veal completely.
• When the rack is ready to cook rub it with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the rack into a roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes before turning the temperature down to 350 degrees and cook and additional 1 hour and 20 minutes. A meat probe should read 150 degrees before you remove it from the oven.

VEAL ROAST STUFFED WITH SPINACH, PANCETTA, AND FRITTATA RECIPE

• Cook the spinach in a covered 12-inch sauté pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan, rinse, chop, and squeeze dry. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same pan over medium heat and add the spinach and 1/3 cup of the Parmigiano; cook 5 minutes. Cool and drain off any liquid. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmigiano. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over a medium flame, add the eggs, and cook until set on both sides, about 2 minutes per side, turning once. Remove this frittata to a plate. Place the veal on a cutting board, smooth side down. Top with the Pancetta, then with the frittata, cutting the frittata as needed to cover it, and finally with the sautéed spinach. Roll lengthwise into a bundle and tie with butcher's string. Heat the olive oil and the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch sauté pan over a medium-high flame. Add the veal and sear until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Add the wine and cook 5 minutes. Add the broth, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the veal is firm but not dry and lets out a clear juice when pierced, adding broth as needed. Discard the string, slice thinly, and serve hot, with the pan juices. This recipe yields 6 servings. Preparation Tips: Stuff the veal up to 12 hours ahead and refrigerate.
