Thanks for that! I just made the dish up Italian stye.
Flatten some veal scallopine pieces, season, lay on top of similar
sized proscuitto(s) slices and roll up tightly so the proscuitto is on
the outside. Secure with a toothpick pierced with a fresh sage leaf.
Saute gently until just brown in olive oil. I allow 2 'birds' per
person.
Meanwhile, in an ovenproof shallow pan/dish, saute mire poix of finely
chopped carrot, onion and celery in olive oil. Add crushed garlic and
some finely chopped herbs like parsley, thyme. Cook gently and stir in
a quantity of green puys lentils (can be pre-soaked in water for half
hour). Add quantity of hot chicken or veg. stock to just cover. A
little dry red or white wine can be added too if desired by deglazing
pan in which the meat was sauted. Place the 'birds' snugly on top.
Cover dish with foil tightly and oven bake mod oven for say, 1 hr max.
The aroma will send sane people mad and keen to be your very best
friend!
