  • 5 7/25 tablespoon(s) freshly grated pecorino cheese
  • 1 Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 olive oil
  • 566 99/100 grams veal scaloppini, cut into eight 3X5-inch slices, 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick

  • 8 slices mortadella
  • 1 sea salt

Instructions

 

  • Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill for 15 minutes or medium-high.
  • Mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, pecorino, and pepper to taste.
  • Add enough olive oil to make a paste.
  • Place the slices of veal between 2 pieces of wax paper and flatten until they are about 1/16 inch thick.
  • Place a thin slice of butter on every rectangle of meat, then cover with a slice of mortadella, trimming to the same size if necessary.
  • Cover the mortadella with some of the breadcrumb mixture and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
  • Double skewer the roll-ups.
  • Slide the roll-ups onto the skewers so they fit tightly, using 2 roll-ups per double skewer.

  • Baste frequently with butter.
