Cima alla genovese

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. butt tenderloin
3 cups white wine
1 celery stalk
1 carrot
1 small onion
2 cloves
7 oz. tuna in oil
6 anchovy fillets
2 egg yolks, hard-boiled
2 lemons, 1 squeezed, 1 thinly sliced
2 Cup Extra virgin olives oil Pietrantica
2 tbs. capers
1 tbs. white vinegar


Preparation:
Soak the mushrooms in warm water for a few minutes and chop them.
Soak the bread in cold water. Squeeze to remove excess water.
Make an incision in the veal breast, thus creating a pocket closed on three sides.
To prepare the stuffing, brown all the meat, except the veal breast, in butter,
then grind it coarsely .
Mix the meat with the pistachio and pine nuts, Parmigiano and eggs.
Add the mushrooms, peas, marjoram, chopped garlic and bread to the meat mixture.
Add salt, pepper, a little grated nutmeg and mix well.
To stuff the breast, fill the veal breast with the stuffing.
It should not be more than 2/3 full. Sew the opening closed with needle and colorless thread,
and prick the meat with a large needle so that it does not burst while cooking.
If possible, wrap the meat tightly in a piece of cheesecloth and sew it closed.
Place the celery, carrot and diced onion in a large pot with the broth.
Turn on the heat, but do not boil.
Add the meat to the pot and cook over low heat for about 3 hours.
Add salt halfway through cooking. Remove the stuffed veal breast
and place it on a chopping board.
Place a plate with a heavy weight on top of the meat and let cool completely.
