Ingredients (for 4 servings)
6 thick veal rump slices (about 4 or 5 mm)
500 ml of tomato sauce
1 clove of garlic
1 bunch of parsley
Powdered sweet pepper crusco
Salt
Extra virgin olive oil
Fennel seeds
1 small onion
Directions
Deprive the slices of meat from any larger nerves and put them on a cutting board. At the same time, finely chop the garlic and parsley that will be used to dust on the slices of meat with the pepper powder, fennel seeds and salt to your liking. Carefully wrap each slice on itself with kitchen twine like a small roast. Chop apart the onion finely and fry with 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan with high sides and then add the tomato sauce. Let it go over medium heat with the lid on for 4-5 minutes and then dip the chops in the sauce. Simmer over low heat for at least an hour. This dish is best served warm.
