Review - Pork Roulades with Fontina and Arugula
#11
  Re: (...)
I am sitting here nibbling on a leftover roulade.

This is from issue No. 57, June 2006.

I love revisiting old issues. Billy is the one that called my attention to this issue with the recipe for the Chicken Roulades. Good call Billy! Now I have two new recipes!

I will try to make this one short and sweet.

Review for:
Pork Roulades filled with Fontina and Arugula
served with
Lemon Parmesan Pasta and Buttery Pine Nuts


PROS: Pork roulades were much easier to make than the Chicken ones. The pork was just easier to pound out and more uniform. Just make sure you pound the edges of the meat even thinner than the 1/8". Makes for a better seal when you roll them up. The sauce had a lot of great flavors going on, but when preparing go easy on the salt. My dish seemed a little salty, especially the sauce. But you are salting the pork, adding broth and reducing and then putting more salt in the sauce. I could have been more careful. The buttery pine nuts on the pasta were FABULOUS! I will have to make those again. Luckily I had just bought a bunch and had some here. This recipe is not listed in the magazine, therefore I didn't notice it until I was already in the kitchen.

CONS: Find another lemony pasta recipe. This one was dry and bland. We appreciated the lemon flavor and it pared well with the pork dish. I think I would try a linguine pasta instead and even double the lemon and add touch of cream.

This was issue No. 57, June 2006

We both loved the pine nuts. They were sauteed in butter and expanded, then got toasted and crunchy. Boy were they good. Here's the recipe.

The recipe for Buttery Pine Nuts is:

1/2 cup pine nuts
2 T. unsalted butter
1/4 t. kosher salt

Combine ingredients in a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. As butter melts, gently swirl the pan to roll the pine nuts around. Cook until evenly golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Transfer nuts to a plate lined with paper towels. Add more salt, if desired; let cool to room temperature

thanks Laura.

Just looked at the issue - I have a note added to the recipe "double the sauce"???? Someone must have also made this and posted that?

With the pasta not up to your liking, I wonder if some of the 'sauce' dribbled over would have helped??

Just turned the page - WOW! That was the recipe I think (and Lorraine also) was my absolute favorite 'dinner review' menu we've done so far. Chicken Paarmesan
Roulades....

Remember one of our first dinners was the Chicken Parmesan Roulades with the Tomato Concassé? This was in the same issue on the previous page. They were wonderful, both recipes. I did use linguine and it was great...guess I didn't review it huh?
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

I have some fontina left over from some really great grilled corned beef sandwiches the other day. This would be a great way to use it. I think this recipe was before I started receiving Cuisine at Home. I may have to bother you for the recipe if I can't find it!

Oh yes Jean, dribbling sauce on the pasta would have helped. That would explain your note of 'double the sauce', because you would need to. There is not much sauce there when you are all done.

I wasn't looking for a 'saucy' kind of pasta. This one was just dry and plain. But then again, I think angel hair can make or break a dish.
