  • ½ lb. veal roast
  • 1½ tbsps. of butter
  • 2 tbsps. of flour
  • Salt, pinch of pepper
  • 3 tbsps. of white wine
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ cup of cream
  • 1 cup of bouillon or water and
  • ¼ tsp. meat extract
  • ½ tbsp. of Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp. of rolls, grated

Preparation: The butter is melted and flour stirred in. Stew it and add water or bouillon (if you take water, use ¼ teaspoonful of meat extract), cream, white wine, salt, pepper, lemon juice. The gravy must boil. Taste it to make sure that it may not be either too salty, too sweet, or too sour.

Chop the veal roast and put it into the gravy. The mixture should be pretty thick; fill it into the shells, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and roll crumbs and place small pieces of butter on top. Then bake them in the oven to a light yellow color which requires 10 minutes. Serve at once.
