Misto Di Verdure Alla Salvia Mixed Vegetables With Sage Recipes

BOLLITO MISTO DI VERDURE (BOILED MIXED VEGETABLES)

Steps:

• Boil or steam all the vegetables keeping in mind they cook at different rates so you'll either have to do them in batches or different pots.
• Cook them to your taste. Some I like crisp-tender, others well done.
• Drain them and let them cool enough to handle them.
• Peel the beets and chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces and combine them in a bowl.
• If you are using capers, stir them in now.
• Season with olive oil to taste, keeping in mind that the vegetables shouldn't be dry, but they shouldn't be swimming either. Season with salt and pepper and the herbs to taste and chill for at least an hour.

SPEZZATINO DI VITELLO ALLA SALVIA (ITALIAN BRAISED VEAL WITH SAGE)

Steps:

• Over medium heat, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the shallots, and cook slowly, stirring constantly, until they are translucent. Remove shallots and set aside.
• Lightly dredge veal pieces in flour. Add to the pan, and cook over medium heat until well browned.
• Add sage leaves and wine and mix well. Return the shallots to the pan, and lower the heat. Cover and simmer for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the wine cooks down too much, add a little water to the pan.
• Just before serving, taste and add salt if necessary and desired.

INVOLTINI DI POLLO ALLA SALVIA (CHICKEN ROULADES WITH SAGE)

Steps:

• Once you have thinly pounded out your chicken breasts, cut each breast into two strips {slightly wider than your bacon slices}. Season chicken strips with salt and pepper.
• Place 2 sage leaves onto each strip of chicken. Roll chicken strips. Roll bacon over chicken roll and secure with toothpicks. Continue until all pieces are rolled.
• Into a frying pan add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add chicken roulades and cook, turning frequently, until bacon has brown/crisped on all sides. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for approximately 10-15 minutes until chicken has cooked through {cooking time will depend on thickness of chicken}.
