Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lb Veal scallops, sliced 1/4"
Thick, pounded thin
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Fresh sage, dried sage or
Ground sage
1/2 lb Thin slices of prosciutto
Flour
4 tb Butter
1 c Marsala or dry white wine
1/2 c Hot beef bouillon

Trim the veal scallops so that they are approximately all the same size.
(Save trimmings for sauces.) Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each
slice of meat. Place 2 or more leaves of fresh or dried sage on each veal
slice, or sprinkle about a scant 1/4 teaspoon ground sage on each. Cut
prosciutto to the same size as veal slices. Top each veal slice with a
prosciutto slice. Roll up and secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen
thread. Coat each veal roll lightly with flour, shaking off excess flour.
Divide butter between 2 large frying pans; heat it without browning. Over
medium heat, cook veal rolls about 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all
sides. Reduce heat and add 1/2 cup marsala and 1/4 cup beef bouillon to
each frying pan. Cover frying pans and cook for 5 to 10 minutes longer;
cooking time depends on the size and thickness of the rolls. Shake the
pans frequently to prevent sticking. If necessary, add a little more beef
bouillon; there should be 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce for each veal bird.
Transfer the cooked veal birds to a heated serving dish and spoon the
sauce over them. Serve immediately and very hot with a tossed green
salad. 6 servings.
