Veal Dreamboats
Serves:4
"These veal rolls are my husband's absolute favorite. For many years I made them with butter, but recently changed to your wonderful olive oil. (I didn't tell my husband.) Well, he commented that they tasted better than usual and wanted to know what I had done differently. When I told him, he said, 'keep using the olive oil then!'--and I will!! Thanks!"
Ingredients:

1/2 cup COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 pound packaged crawfish tail meat, thawed, if frozen
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons chopped black olives, (optional)
1 large leek, cleaned well and thinly sliced
4 (5 - 6 -ounce) prime veal cutlets, very thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 can (10 3/4 ounce,) can cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic
1/4 cup half and half
2 cups cooked white rice
Fresh parsley or basil sprigs for garnish, (optional)


Preparation:


1. Drain the crawfish liquid into a medium bowl.  Set aside.  Dice the tails, leaving the yellow fat that clings to the tail.
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the crawfish and saute for about 1 minute. (Do not cook until done).  Pour the tails along with the oil into a large bowl.  Add the Parmesan, basil, olives and leeks.  Mix until well blended.
3. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper.  Spoon the crawfish mixture onto the cutlet in a strip, keeping the filling as uniform as possible in thickness.  Put and remaining filling into the bowl with the reserved juice.
4. Roll the veal tightly, secure with toothpicks.
5. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
6. Lightly oil a 2 quart baking dish; place the veal rolls into the prepared pan.
7. Add the soup and half and half to the bowl with the reserved juice and crawfish filling.  Mix well to combine, spoon over veal rolls.
8. Bake in oven for 45 minutes, or until tender.  Carefully remove the toothpicks; serve over rice.
