Roman Fry Recipe

(Fritto alla Romana)

I.

Put on the fire a hash of onion and butter and when it is well browned

cook in it a piece of lean veal seasoned with salt and pepper. When the

meat begins to brown put in a little sherry wine to complete the

cooking.

Pound the whole to soften it a little using the sauce remained and if

this is not enough add some broth and finally the yolk of an egg. See

that the whole is not softened too much.

Now take some wafers, not too thin and cut them in squares similar to

those used by druggists. Beat one egg and the white from the other egg,

then take a wafer, dip it in the egg and place it on a layer of bread

crumbs ground fine. On the wafer put a little ball of the compound

above, then dip another wafer in the egg, make it touch the bread crumbs

only from the part that remains outside, and with this cover the

compound attaching it to the lower wafer. Sprinkle again with bread

crumbs if necessary and put the piece aside repeating the operation

until all the meat is disposed of. Cook in oil or fat and serve with

lemon.

With half a pound of meat about twenty filled wafers should be obtained.
