Apricot Veal Rolls on Mushroom Rice
This is a wonderful easy recipe to make it tastes wonderful and we really enjoyed it. I had to make several changes from the original recipe listed as I could not get certain ingredients listed, so I adapted for what would be similar, so the end result would turn out how it was meant to. I made this for part of the recipe swap I am in If you want to view the original recipe please click here. I was the first person to review this one so there are no more pictures or reviews.
