  • About

Nutty kasha, moistened with soft-fried onions and lots of dark browned mushrooms, makes a glorious filling for this spoon-tender breast of veal.

Ingredients

For the Stuffing

  • ½ cup dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 ounce)
  • 4 tablespoons

Method

Start the filling: put the porcini in a small heatproof bowl and add cups very hot water. Cover and set aside for about 45 minutes to soften. Drain the porcini through a strainer lined with paper towels or a coffee filter, reserving all the soaking liquid. Wash the porcini under cold running water t
