It's what was for dinner this evening ...

Beef Braciole
I'm so disappointed in myself that it didn't come out 'right'
I have no basis for alot of Italian dishes that my dearest husband loves ... what do i know, I'm Hawaiian ... I'd never heard of almost all of the dishes that my poor husband longs for.
I never got to meet in Mother-In-Law, who's cooking I understand would have set the World on fire.
So I fly by the seat of my pants, but dropped the ball on this one.
I thought it was a tasty dish, but not DH

Oh well, there's plenty of lunches left for Moi ... this recipe made 8 pieces, so ...

I had to look that one up and this was the description

Beef Braciole is a classic Italian main course. It involves thin slices of beef, typically from top round or flank steak, filled with a savory mixture of breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and sometimes other ingredients like prosciutto or hard-boiled eggs. The beef slices are then rolled up, secured with kitchen twine or toothpicks, browned in a skillet, and slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce until tender.

I have to say that I had thought you had made spaghetti bolognese (sorry).

Honey it looks just fine to me. I'd gladly help it disappear!

I'm eating a pepperoni and mushroom pizza from Pizza Hut. By myself because DH hates Pizza Hut.

 

[karadekoolaid]

I finally ate something - at 3.30. Tuesday's quiche with boiled potatoes...
and ranch dressing! Yum!

 

[kaneohegirlinaz]

SatNavSaysStraightOn that's exactly how I made it, and yet DH insisted that's not how it's done

All I know is that I won't be doing that again ... it's A LOT of prep time!

 

[kaneohegirlinaz]

JAS_OH1 thanks dear!!!
I asked DH if I should share some of the FIVE other pieces with Mr&Mrs NDN, "NO!!!"

I think it looks delicious, and much credit to you for trying…I would have massaged the truth a little, told you it was wonderful, then maybe mentioned, “It’s a nice comparison to Mom’s…where you used this, she used that, both are good, just different…”

Now, I’m about as Italian Mr. Spock, but isn’t braciole one of those dishes that has almost endless variations, where the stuffing bits are concerned? I’m sure I’ve seen it with olives, and even raisins, so you simply most likely just followed or created a recipe different from the one he’s used to. Did he try and help by telling you what he thought was in it?
