Bon Appetit's Braciole

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Bon Appetit's Braciole). A old family recipe for 'brazzoles.' These beef and pork rollups are made with a filling of salami, hard-boiled eggs, garlic, parsley, and cheese. Use your judgment on the amounts of parsley, garlic and grated cheese--you want to flavor them, but not overpower with one particular flavor. The amounts of ingredients always vary according to the size of the braciola meat.

Directions

Step 1

Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/8 inch (1/3 cm). Pound beef to the same thickness.

Step 2

Lay the meats out on a work surface with the short side facing you and top them with layers of salami eggs parsley minced garlic and Pecorino Romano cheese.

Step 3

Roll up the meats to form short fat rolls with a lot of stuffing; secure them with twine. Roll them tightly to prevent the stuffing from escaping. Refrigerate until your pasta sauce is simmering and you're ready to brown the meat.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the rolls on each side until brown about 5 minutes per side. (Cook the braciole in batches if they won't all fit in the skillet.)

Step 5

Bring spaghetti sauce to a simmer over low heat and cook braciole in the sauce until tender about 2 hours.
