Braciole with Salmoriglio
The ultimate braciole recipe passed down from my Mamma (and her Mamma and her Mamma!).
There is only one meat for the real braciole, and it's a very lean cutlet of beef tenderized by a few thousand smashes from a heavy meat pounder. Heaven!
The greatness of the braciole lies in its fillings. You'll find all sorts of people recommending that you put all sorts of junk inside your braciole. Disregard them.
Ingredients
100g per piece of tenderloin pounded thin able to roll
100g Pine Nuts
100g Dark Seedless Small Raisins
100g Mozzarella and even better if you can get your hands on the smoked types as well.
100g Prosciutto
100g Bread Crumbs and Parmesan grated
100ml garlic oil
Chopped Parsley, Salt & Pepper
Method
You can either go Rustic or Urban with your braciole filling. Rustic takes the ingredients and stuffs them into the braciole as is. Urban puts the filling ingredients through a food processor until they're the consistency of a chunky pesto. I'm a Rustic man myself, but I won't turn down an Urban braciola either!
Apply your filling to one side of the pounded beef cutlet, roll it up very tightly and now secure it. you can tie them or skewer them with a well used stainless steal skewer.
