"STUFFED VEAL ROLLS
3/4 pounds veal cutlets, (thinly cut) (won't ANY thinly-cut meat do?)
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 cup arugula, washed and patted dry
1cup basil, washed and patted dry
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup dry vermouth (change or omit this as needed)
1/2 cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth (or use your own)
Wooden toothpicks

Spread the veal out on a cutting board or counter top and flatten with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet to 1 ?4-inch thick. Salt and pepper the veal pieces.

Place a layer of arugula over the veal, making sure the surface is covered. Place a layer of basil leaves over arugula. Roll up the meat and fasten with a wooden toothpick.

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet just large enough to hold the veal in one layer. Brown the veal rolls on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove to a dish and cover with foil to keep warm.

Add the vermouth to the skillet. Let reduce about 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits as it cooks. Add the broth. Let reduce again about 5 minutes.

Return veal to the sauce to let warm through for a minute. If rolls are thick, warm for 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove rolls and slice into 2" pieces. Place on plates with the sliced side up so that the colourful interior is showing. Spoon the sauce over the top.
