a really great dish
181
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:43,055
if you want to impress someone
182
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:45,400
because it is impressive the
way it comes out of the oven.
183
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:46,358
Just look at that.
184
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:47,860
Now for the moment of truth,
185
00:13:47,927 --> 00:13:50,563
to crack it open
186
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:53,532
and see how the
fish is doing inside.
187
00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:00,573
I'm hoping to get
this cracked open
188
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,276
in as few pieces as possible.
189
00:14:06,145 --> 00:14:07,646
There it is.
190
00:14:07,713 --> 00:14:12,651
Look at that, beautifully
cooked in a salt crust.
191
00:14:12,718 --> 00:14:17,089
And the fish doesn't
require any additional salt
192
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:22,161
because some of that salt
has percolated through the flesh.
193
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:28,567
I like to run my knife down
the back, around by the gills.
194
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:35,574
And that fillet will
come off that easy.
195
00:14:35,641 --> 00:14:37,843
Little squeeze of lemon...
196
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:44,617
And a drizzle of olive oil.
197
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:53,926
And the aroma from those
herbs right now is quite amazing.
198
00:14:55,461 --> 00:14:57,863
It looks moist.
199
00:15:02,101 --> 00:15:07,039
So tender, delicate,
but perfectly seasoned.
200
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:10,943
It is such a great way
to prepare a whole fish.
201
00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:13,879
And for my second secondo,
202
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:18,651
how about veal stuffed
with pork, raisins, pine nuts
203
00:15:18,717 --> 00:15:21,186
and a little cheese?

But when they decide to
eat meat, they do it right,
207
00:15:39,638 --> 00:15:44,009
like this stuffed veal
scaloppini called "tomaxelle".
208
00:15:44,076 --> 00:15:46,779
And the perfect cut of veal
209
00:15:46,845 --> 00:15:49,315
is this thin, tender scaloppini
210
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:54,386
that, when stuffed and rolled,
becomes a delicious dish.
211
00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:58,824
I've got my stuffing
partially underway
212
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:01,794

with sweet, little raisins and
delicious, crunchy pine nuts.
218
00:16:22,514 --> 00:16:25,617
So, ground breadcrumbs
takes care of the binding.
219
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:29,188
But on their own, it
would be just too dry.
220
00:16:29,254 --> 00:16:31,790
So, i want to a little
counterpoint to that,
221
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:34,927
by way of an egg.

and the all-important seasoning.
229
00:17:15,634 --> 00:17:19,271
Now, the best way
to stuff a scaloppini
230
00:17:19,338 --> 00:17:22,741
is to have the longest
side of the scaloppini
231
00:17:22,808 --> 00:17:24,510
running away from you.
232
00:17:24,576 --> 00:17:28,747

have taken on a wonderful
golden brown colour
245

from sizzling in this
pan of oil and butter,
246

leaving all kinds of goodies
in the bottom of the pan

simmering and reducing.
