Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound ground veal breast
  • 1/2 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1/8 pound ham, cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • 1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (3-pound) roasting chicken, deboned by your butcher, but still in 1 piece
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and quartered lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the veal, pork sausage, ham, and carrot until well combined. Season the stuffing, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Lay the deboned chicken skin-side down on a work surface with the neck end closest to you. Being careful to leave a 1-inch margin on all sides, spread the stuffing evenly onto the chicken. Lay the egg quarters on top. If your butcher left any leg flesh on the sides of the chicken, roll this flesh in over the stuffing. Begin to roll the chicken from the side closest to you the end farthest away, tucking the egg quarters in as you roll so that they are dispersed all along the east-west plane of the chicken. This way, when the roll is cut, every portion will include an egg. When you are finished, the chicken will look like a long, plump salami.

Place the chicken roll in a lightly oiled roasting pan, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut into 1 1/2-inch slices. Serve immediately.

    On the show the temp was 400- on the web site it was 350. the cooking times were diff too. On the show it was 1 hr 15min. On the web site it was 30 min, witch one is it?? I have been cooking for a long time so I could figure it out but for some one trying this for the first time it would be very confusing. PS.. as for the red wine, it looks like Mario just put enough to cover the bottom of the roasting pan, about a 1/2 cup or so..

    ON THE SHOW, MARIO SAID TO BAKE THE CHICKEN AT 400 DEGREES FOR ONE AND ONE QUARTER HOURS. THE RECIPE CALLS FOR 350 DEGREES FOR THIRTY MINUTES. THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE ENOUGHT TIME TO COOK THE STUFFING.

    I noticed that Mario also put some red wine into the cassarole with the chicken. Does anyone know how much?
