Arrosto di Vitello Incrostato

Uncommon appearance and texture set this roast aside from all others. At first, it is cooked in traditional fashion over a burner, in a roasting pot with onion, herbs, white wine, and Marsala, whose aromas and flavors it makes its own. When done it is coated with a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan and placed in a hot oven just long enough to form a crust marvelous for the crispness of the bread crumbs and the savor of the cheese.
