	Vitello Tonnato 06

		Vitello Tonnato 2 6-ounce cans oil packed tuna (preferably imported Italian), minced 8 anchovy filets, drained, rinsed and minced 3 tbl small capers, drained and minced 2 tbl fresh squeezed lemon juice 1 to 1 1/4 cup homemade mayonnaise (I used 3 egg yolks, lemon juice (about 1 tbl or more to taste), whole grain mustard to taste - mixed well in a small bowl to which you add 1/2 cup extra version olive oil and 1/2 cup corn oil starting out a drop at a time whisking constantly until fully emulsion and incorporated. Salt to taste.) Mince the tuna, anchovies and capers in a small food processor or hand mince. Add lemon juice and fold mixture into the mayonnaise. Refrigerate until needed, preferably overnight as flavor is better the following day. To braise the roast 3-lb boneless veal roast, tied well and firmly (loin or leg cuts are good) 2 carrots cut into chunks 1 large onion quartered 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 2 sprigs fresh rosemary 2 bay leaves 8 to 10 black peppercorns Place all of the ingredients into a covered casserole and fill with water just so the veal is barely covered. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until done to your liking. Let roast cool to room temperature then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours. You can save the braising liquid and use it for risotto or soup. Slice the veal as thin as possible, 1/4 to 1/3 inch. An electric knife can facilitate this. Remove the ties just before slicing. Place a light layer of mayonnaise on the bottom of a platter and place a layer of overlapping slices of meat. Top with a layer of mayonnaise and another layer of meat until you have run out of meat and mayonnaise. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The longer the flavors mingle the better the vitello will be. Allow several hours to bring the meat to room temperature. It will not taste as good right from the refrigerator.
