Ingredients
Roasted tomato sauce
Method
1.Preheat oven to 200°C.
2.Make roasted tomato sauce. Place ingredients in a 4 litre (16-cup) rectangular 23cm x 32cm cast iron roasting pan; season. Roast for 1 hour or until tomatoes soften.
3.Meanwhile, for sage involtini, working in two batches, place two long pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface, then place another piece on top to create a double layer. Lay 6 pieces of veal 5cm apart. Cover with another double layer of plastic wrap. Use a kitchen mallet or rolling pin to flatten veal to 5mm thick. Season.
4.Place 2 sage leaves, 2 slices of salami, side by side, 2 slices of cheese, side by side, about 1 tablespoon sauerkraut and 3-4 capsicum strips on each piece of veal crossways, across one short side. Roll veal up tightly to enclose filling; secure with toothpicks.
5.Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook half the veal rolls, turning, for 3 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and veal rolls; wipe pan clean with paper towel between batches, if necessary. Add remaining sage leaves to pan; cook for 30 seconds or until crisp. Transfer to paper towel; drain.
6.Add involtini rolls and any juices to roasted tomato sauce in dish; top with crisp sage leaves. Return to oven; bake for 30 minutes or until involtini are tender; a small sharp knife should insert easily with little resistance.
7.Remove and discard toothpicks from involtini. Serve half the involtini stew. Transfer remaining involtini stew to an airtight container; cool, then store.
