Devil-Style Veal Roast is a bold, aromatic main course packed with character. The meat is deeply scored and filled with chili pepper, sage and bay leaf so the flavors can penetrate during the marinating process. A robust mixture of oil, vinegar, spices and herbs adds even more depth, keeping the roast juicy and tender as it cooks slowly. The reduced cooking juices turn into a rich sauce to drizzle over the freshly sliced meat. Served with toasted bread crostini, this roast blends tradition with a spicy twist, turning a classic into a dish with a fiery, satisfying soul.
