Mound stuffing in middle third of veal breast, leaving 1 inch uncovered on each side

Roll breast from bottom, pulling meat over stuffing to form a cylindrical stuffed package

14

Tie tightly at each end to enclose filling; tie firmly at 2-inch intervals to ensure that flap stays closed during cooking
