CREAMY DILLED CARROTS
I'm not sure where my love of cooking comes from, but I speculate it's because I like to eat! This recipe from a treasured cookbook is a wonderfully different way to serve carrots. They do with most any meal and add nice color to the table.-Howard Koch, Lima, Ohio

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the onions just start to turn translucent and begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a plate and place in the refrigerator to cool.
- Combine the cooled onions with the ground veal, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan, carrots, celery, parsley, oregano, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
- Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
- Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.
STUFFED VEAL SCALLOPS WITH A MUSHROOM SAUCE AND CARROT ROSTI
My veal scallops were huge, in fact I have never bought scallops of veal this big before, I made one per person. I have made this before with small veal scallops and I made three per person, I used about 1-2 teaspoons of stuffing for each slice and made them as little bundles, so either way will work fine. You will see from the photograph just how large it was I was able to cut each veal scallop into four pieces. Maybe where you are in the world this will not seem strange to you, this may be standard size, but where I am I usually get small scallops of veal, not that I am complaining it was delicious and took me half the time because I wasn't rolling up 12 little rolls, just 4 huge ones.

Steps:
- Add a little olive oil to a pan, add shallots and garlic, cook until onion softens. Add butter and melt, add mushrooms, cook and stir until liquid has evaporated.
- Meanwhile in a small pan cook chopped bacon, until browned.
- Add herbs and bacon to mushroom mix and stir to combine, remove from heat.
- Boil some water, add a knob of butter and veg stock to a measuring jug, pour 100ml of hot water into jug, stir until butter has melted and stock has dissolved. Add this liquid to the stuffing, mix to combine, finally add this to the mushroom mix.
- Add the veal mince to the pan and stir to combine, add the egg and Parmesan cheese, again stir to combine.
- Season veal scallops with salt and pepper, spread stuffing over veal, leaving just a small border around the edge. Roll scallop up and wrap prosciutto slices around the veal to secure. If you have any stuffing left over I just cook that separate.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a pan add rolls to brown both sides. Transfer to a lightly oiled ovenproof dish, drizzle a little oil over veal rolls and bake at 180ºC for 30-40min's or until done. Check regularly towards the end of cooking as you do not want to over cook and toughen it up.
- Sauce.
- While pork is cooking make the sauce, add the oil to a pan along with the sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are browned and soft, add wine and water, simmer a few minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add chicken stock and stir to dissolve, add thick double cream first and stir until it well combined, add light cream, season with pepper, finally add gravy granules and stir to thicken, serve over veal.
- Carrot Rosti.
- Combine sour cream, cumin and dill in a small bowl, refrigerate until needed.
- Combine carrot, egg, egg white and flour in a large bowl, Cook serving spoon size rosties in an oiled pan until browned on both sides and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper.
- Note:I say serving spoon size as you want it bigger than a tablespoon, they should be large in diameter but quite flat, you will get the idea from the picture.
- Serve with sour cream mixture.
- To Serve: Either arrange little rolls on a plate and pour sauce over or slice into thin slices if you have used larger scallops like me and again pour sauce over. Place some salad greens on plate top with carrot rosties and dollop with sour cream mix.
