Veal InvoltiniMartyn Thompson

Top-quality veal really makes a difference in this dish; meat should be cut from the leg for scalloppine.

Cooks' notes:

•Veal and onion can be threaded onto skewers 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered.
•If you're unable to grill outdoors, you can broil veal and onion skewers. Preheat broiler and lightly oil rack of a broiler pan. Broil skewers in 2 batches 4 to 6 inches from heat, turning over once, until golden, about 6 minutes per batch.
