How to Make Apricot Veal Rolls On Mushroom Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Sauté 4 slices of bacon, diced, and 1 medium onion, chopped, in a medium pan until the onion is tender and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the bacon and onion mixture onto each of 4 thin veal cutlets (about 4 oz each).
  4. Roll up the veal cutlets tightly and secure with a toothpick.
  5. Lightly dust the veal rolls in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  6. Brown the veal rolls all over in 2 tablespoons of hot oil in a large skillet (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  7. Transfer the browned veal rolls to an ovenproof dish.
  8. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup apricot nectar, 1 packet of onion soup mix, and 1/4 cup of your favorite brown sauce. Pour this mixture over the veal rolls in the ovenproof dish.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes, or until the veal is cooked through and tender.
  10. While the veal is baking, sauté 8 oz of sliced mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of oil until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  11. Stir in 2 cups of cooked rice into the sautéed mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Serve the apricot veal rolls over the mushroom rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
