Veal Roll

Veal (or calf) is a tender, dietary meat with little connective tissue. Calf meat is a rich source of high quality protein. That’s why it is essential food for kids who need more protein to grow. Eggs also contain protein and other substances that are vital to our health, and, especially, to woman’s health. Women who eat, at least, one egg every other day may lower breast cancer risk. Add this veal roll stuffed with eggs and greens to your everyday diet or make it for holiday. Veal rolls are so rich, yummy and mouth-watering. And they look good on your table.
