How to Make German Stuffed Veal Breast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1 large egg, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. This is your stuffing mixture.
  3. Carefully create a pocket in the veal breast by making a deep cut along the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff the pocket of the veal breast generously with the meat mixture.
  5. Secure the opening using kitchen twine, toothpicks, or skewers.
  6. In an ovenproof casserole dish, melt 2 tbsp shortening over medium heat. Brown the stuffed veal breast on all sides.
  7. Add 1 tbsp paprika, 2 bay leaves, 4 cloves, 1 tbsp rosemary, 1 tbsp basil, and 2 cups water to the drippings in the casserole dish.
  8. Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the veal is fork-tender and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
