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. I have listed the changes I made below.

Ingredients

3 slices bacon, streaky bacon, chopped finely
1 Small onion, chopped finely
8 Small veal medallions, pounded
Seasoned flour, for dusting
1 Tablespoons oil
1 Can apricots, in natural juice
1 Tablespoon apricot jam
1 Packet onion sauce mix
2 Teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
120g Mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 Sachet wild rice, for 2 people
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 Teaspoons vegetable stock granuels

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. Saute bacon and onion in a pan until onion is tender.

3. Spoon a little onto each piece of veal. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.

Japanese Beef and Vegetable Rolls
Hey, all those who read my site and check in regularly, I am back from my business trip so start looking for regular posts again. I am still a little jet lagged so they may not be everyday for the next few days but I will get back on schedule soon.I had a great trip to Australia although way to rushed and well to far away to go for just 9 days.

Ingredients

1 Large carrot
12 Baby asparagus spears
4 Green onions
12 Thin slices of beef fillet
1 Tablespoon oil (I use olive oil but vegetable would be fine.)
80ml Mirin or sweet rice wine
60ml Japanese soy sauce
3 Tablespoons sake
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons cornflour

Method

1. Using a vegetable peeler slice carrot into thin strips, lengthways. Cut strips to fit beef slices.

2. Lay beef slices flat sift about 1 tablespoon of cornflour over the top. Lay 2 pieces each of carrot and onion and top with an asparagus spear, roll up beef and secure with kitchen string or toothpicks. Dust rolls with remaining cornflour.

3. Heat the oil in a pan, add rolls, cook until browned all over. Remove rolls from pan, wipe oil from pan with absorbent paper.

4. Return rolls to pan, add combined mirin, sake, soy sauce and sugar, bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer rolls, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. If you prefer a thicker sauce remove rolls from pan and bring mixture to the boil to thicken or add just a small amount of cornflour mixed with water to thicken the sauce. Return rolls to pan to coat with sauce.

5. Remove rolls from pan, cool 2 minutes. Remove and discard toothpicks, cut rolls in half, arrange on a serving plate and pour remaining sauce over.

Serves 4

I usually serve sushi to start, so for 4 you may want to serve an appetizer before or perhaps some steamed rice to accompany, it just depends on appetites.

These rolls can also be made with pork fillet instead of beef if preferred.
