A tantalising Mediterranean veal dish to excite your senses.

Ingredients:

10 mL olive oil

50 g prosciutto

160 g avocado (flesh only), halved, peeled and stone removed

50 g grated light mozzerella cheese

600 g lean veal leg steak

Directions:

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Brush the veal steaks with oil. Cook steaks in batches for 1-2 minutes each side, then remove and cool slightly.

Take each avocado half and place cut side down on a board. Slice into diagonal pieces (wedges), keeping the tip of the avocado intact. Press lightly in the middle of the avocado and the flesh will come out.

Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each steak then carefully top with an avocado ‘fan’. Divide the grated cheese over the steaks.

Place under a pre-heated hot grill and cook until the cheese is melted.

Variations:

Serve with steamed vegetables. Add black pepper and salt to taste.

Incredible tasty, filling & healthy! I would suggest to cook the veal for a little longer on hot, makes it just a little bit tastier :D
