Minute stuffed rose veal with caper sauce

Method

1. Make the Provencal sauce first: heat the oil in a medium pan and when hot add the shallots.

2. Cook gently until soft but not browned.

3. Add the white wine and tomato puree and cook steadily until reduced.

4. Add the tomatoes and sugar and cook until thickened.

5. Add the garlic and basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. To make the veal: place the veal scallops between 2 sheets of cling film and 'bash' out lightly with a meat mallet or base of a heavy saucepan, forming a long oval shape.

7. Remove the cling film and season with salt and pepper.

8. Place the smoked ham in the centre of one half, and place the Gruyére on top.

9. Cover with Provençal sauce and place a sage leaf on top.

10. Fold the empty end of the scallop over (ensuring the edges touch) and tap lightly around the edges to ensure a good seal.

11. Dust in seasoned plain flour.

12. Repeat with the other scallop.

13. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the scallops for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

14. Add the caper vinegar to the pan and cook until reduced.

15. Add the water and cook until reduced.

16. Stir in the double cream and capers and heat through.

17. To serve: place the veal in the centre of the serving plates on a bed of steamed green beans. Spoon over the remaining caper sauce.
