- Prepare the Meat:
- Lay the slices of meat flat on a clean surface. If they’re too thick, you can gently pound them with a meat mallet to make them thinner and more tender.
- Prepare the Filling:
- On each slice of meat, place a couple of slices of prosciutto or pancetta, a few strips of cheese, and a pinch of minced garlic and fresh parsley. You can also add a few breadcrumbs if you want to give the filling a bit of texture.
- Roll the Meat:
- Roll up each slice of meat around the filling, securing it with a toothpick or tying it with kitchen twine to keep the roll intact while cooking.
- Sear the Involtini:
- Heat a little olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the involtini and sear them on all sides until browned. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
- Simmer in Sauce:
- Once browned, you can deglaze the pan with a splash of white or red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook off for a minute, then add the crushed tomatoes or broth.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 25-30 minutes, until the involtini are tender and fully cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove the toothpicks or twine from the involtini before serving. Serve hot, with the sauce spooned over the top, and optionally with a side of mashed potatoes, polenta, or a fresh salad.
