Spitini A La Siciliana Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take a 2-ounce piece of meat and dip in oil on both sides then press in bread crumbs to coat on both sides. Roll firmly and place in an oiled 2-inch deep casserole dish side by side with sides touching. When all are rolled, place one bay leaf and a half of a onion ring in between each rolled spidini. Place dish uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit. Cut spidini's into bite size portions discarding the bay leaves.

Steps:

• On a clean cutting board, lay out the pounded veal cutlets.
• Cut each cutlet across in 1/3rd's, to make 3 (4-inch) long pieces from every cutlet. Season each piece with salt and pepper, then place 1/2 teaspoon of softened whipped butter on each slice and spread it evenly across.
• In a mixing bowl, add the bread crumbs, onions, garlic, parsley, and both of the grated cheeses, season with cracked black pepper and toss well to mix.
• Drizzle the bread crumb mixture with the olive oil to moisten the crumbs, and mix well with your hands to incorporate.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on each slice and roll up, tucking in the sides as you go, spring roll fashion, to secure the filling inside. Some veal rolls will be longer than others, and can be cut in 1/2 to even out. Save the extra rolls to make 1 more skewer.
• Top each veal roll with 1 fresh bay leaf and 1 red onion wedge, and then place 3 of the topped rolls on 1 skewer, so that each skewer has 3 of everything on it.
• You should make 12 skewers with 3 rolls per skewer, by using the extra meat you trimmed from the longer rolls.
• Place on a pregreased hot grill, and grill for about 2 minutes on each side, brushing again with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• If you do not have a grill, you can place under the broiler about 8 to 10 inches from the flame, and watch carefully, cooking for 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Between two sheets of waxed paper, pound out the cutlets until around 1/4 inch thin.
• In a small bowl mix together the onions, garlic, bacon, bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Spoon in the tomato sauce a little at a time to form a paste.
• Spread the mixture evenly on top of the pork cutlets and roll up securing the ends with toothpicks.
• Season the outside with a little more salt and pepper.
• Prepare the grill or broiler.
• Grill or broil slowly for around 30 minutes turning once.

Steps:

• Dip veal into oil and then coat with bread crumbs. While flat, put on onions, salami, ham and cheese - don't stuff too much because you now will roll them up and fasten with toothpicks.
• You'll need a baking pan with a little olive oil on the bottom. Fill with spitini and top with more olive oil. Stick bay leaves in between spitini. I use alot say, one leaf to every 4 spitini.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes, adjusting heat higher or lower until they reach a lovely golden color.
• And then MANGIA. They are easy to make and taste like a million! We eat them for breakfast when they are leftover. Hm!

Steps:

• Thinly slice steak widthwise into 5-in. strips. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the marinade ingredients. Add beef; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally., Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Transfer half of the mixture to a shallow bowl; set aside. For filling, add marinara sauce to the remaining crumb mixture and mix well. Spread 1 teaspoon filling over each beef strip and roll up into pinwheels. Coat with reserved crumb mixture., Cut onion into 1-in. pieces and separate into layers. Thread a piece of onion, a sage leaf and a beef pinwheel onto a soaked wooden appetizer skewer; repeat. Drizzle lightly with oil and place on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Broil 3-4 in. from heat for 5-7 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness, turning once.
