Simple ingredients make this delicious, impressive looking dish.
I woke up in the middle of a night not knowing where I was. My dreams have always been vivid. Dreaming that I’m still in Bosnia and waking up in my own bed confused me for a second. I also woke up hungry for these veal rolls which is to no surprise because I was busy eating them in my dream. —Jas

1 tablespoon

Directions
- Veal Rolls
-
Gently pound the cutlets with a meat tenderizer (hammer) until they double in size. They should get about 1/8 -inch thick. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. Place ham slices over cutlets. If your cutlets are smaller in size use only one slice of ham.
-
Position cheese and roasted pepper along the side, ensuring nothing sticks outside the edges. Roll it up tucking in the edges and secure with toothpicks.
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat. Sauté veal rolls, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer veal to a platter and keep warm, covered.
- Mushroom Sauce
-
Melt the butter in a medium size pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, for about a couple of minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they have turned a darker brown color and their juices have evaporated. This usually takes about 5-6 minutes.
-
Reduce the heat and stir in the flour. Add wine and deglaze the pan. Stir in heavy cream and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. The sauce will thicken.
-
To serve, cut the veal rolls on an angle and place over mushroom sauce. Enjoy!
