Ingredients

  • 1tbsp rosemary leaves
  • 3 anchovies
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 3tbsp olive oil
  • 125ml red wine
  • 4 veal cutlets, each about 250g

Method

Put the rosemary, anchovies and garlic in a mortar with a generous pinch of sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Pound until the anchovies are mashed. Put this mixture into a bowl and stir through the olive oil and red wine.

Put the veal cutlets in a non-metallic dish and pour over the marinade, tossing the cutlets around to coat in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight, turning them often.

Remove the cutlets from the fridge 1 hour before cooking.

Preheat the barbecue hotplate or grill to high. Put the cutlets on the hotplate or grill and cook for 5 minutes with the lid closed. They should look quite dark from the marinade.

Turn the veal over and cook for another 5 minutes, again with the lid closed. Turn the barbecue heat off, lightly wrap the meat in cooking foil and sit on the warm lid for 5 minutes. Remove and rest for another 10 minutes in the foil before serving.
