Equipment

  • Chef's Knife - Essential for cutting vegetables like spinach and rolling out pastry sheets.

  • Rolling Pin - Useful for flattening the pastry evenly before filling and sealing it.

  • Baking Sheet - Needed to bake the veal rolls in the oven properly, ensuring they're cooked all the way through.

  • Pastry Brush - Used for brushing eggs or butter on pastry before adding cheese and spinach, helping it brown nicely.

  • Cutting Board - A vital tool for preparing ingredients safely and efficiently.

  • Spice Grinder (if preferred) - Optional, to freshly grind any herbs that might be used in the filling.

  • Oven Mitts - Essential safety equipment when placing or removing baking sheets from the oven.

  • Cheese Slicer - If you prefer thin slices of Gruyère cheese for a more uniform appearance and cooking experience.

  • Food Processor (optional) - Can be used to finely chop spinach if preferred, making it easier to mix into the filling.

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons - Ensures accurate measurement of ingredients like flour for the dough and spices.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon anchovy paste

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

  • 6 veal cutlets (scallopini; preferably cut from round; no more than 1/4 inch thick; 1 1/2 pounds total)

  • 3 ounces Gruyère, coarsely grated (1 1/2 cups)

  • 2 ounces baby spinach leaves (1 1/4 cups)

  • 1/3 cup dry white wine

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Mash anchovy paste into 4 tablespoons butter in a bowl until combined. Gently pound cutlets to slightly less than 1/8 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin. Pat cutlets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper, then spread 1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy butter over top of each cutlet. (You will have a little butter left over.) Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over anchovy butter, leaving a 1/4-inch border, then arrange spinach leaves, overlapping in 1 layer, to cover cutlets. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, arrange with a short side nearest you and roll up tightly, then secure with a wooden pick.

Instruction 3

Pat rolls dry. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté veal, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and bake veal until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer veal with tongs to a platter (reserve skillet) and keep warm, covered.

Instruction 4

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then add wine and deglaze skillet by boiling (on stovetop) over high heat, scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then add any juices accumulated on platter and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons butter (not remaining anchovy butter). Cook over low heat until incorporated. Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
