a five-stars restaurant! (huh? I'm being too modest?! :P)

Last weekend, we had planned to try 3 or 4 restaurants and also to go out for drinks, etc. We had forgotten how expensive restaurants are! Merde! And drinks too!
So we had a drink somewhere and we went to restaurant with Lola, once.

As we were limited with money (what a cruel world! ;-), we decided to make of our lil place the restaurant of our dreams. And it worked!
We all had exactly what we were drooling for...

We cooked brownies (I don't want to remember the quantity of butter in that one!), croque-madame for Lola, stuffed egg-plants (aubergines farcies, one of my top recipes), and veal's roulades (roulades de veau).

The veal's roulades were absolutely a success, very easy to do, and so so good! You MUST try it!



Here is the recipe, I'll make it in Franwch too for the lazy bums ;-)

for 2 or 4 persons (depending on your appetite)
4 flat veal escalopes / 4 escalopes de veau assez plates
4 slices of bacon / 4 tranches de bacon
parmesan / parmesan (en morceau plutôt)
fresh basilic / basilic frais
fresh sage / sauge fraîche
+ wooden picks / petits pics en bois

to be served with / accompagnement
pasta
or
tomatoes and mushrooms
or whatever you want



1.cut each escalopes in 2 or 3 slices / découper chaque escalopes en 2 ou 3 tranches (sens de la longueur)
2.put bacon on the slices / placer le bacon sur chaque tranche
3.put the basilic leaves on the slices/ placer les feuilles de basilic sur chaque tranche
4.put the sage leaves on the slices/ placer les feuilles de basilic sur chaque tranche
5.add the parmesan on the slices / finir en mettant les copeaux de parmesan (idéal) sur les tranches
6.roll the slices and fix them with the picks / rouler les tranches (pas surper fastoche mais ça va) puis les fixer avec les petits pics

7.In a pan, put some olive oil and make the roulades cook on each side; when the meat isn't pink anymore, then it's ready / faire revenir dans une poêle avec de l'huile d'olive jusqu'à ce que la viande ne soit plus rose.

Even with the picks, it cooks well
It's not dry at all and taste wunnerful!

You must try it, it's just unforgeDable!!!!
