🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Make the Filling:
🥣 In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Pecorino Romano, parsley, garlic, pine nuts (if using), and olive oil. Mix until evenly moistened. Season with salt and pepper.

2️⃣ Assemble the Rolls:
🔪 Lay out veal cutlets on a flat surface. Spread a spoonful of the breadcrumb mixture on each piece. Add a strip of provolone cheese to the center, then roll tightly into a pinwheel.

3️⃣ Skewer the Spiedini:
🍢 Thread 3–4 veal rolls onto each skewer, inserting a bay leaf between each roll. Make sure the seam sides face the same direction for even cooking.

4️⃣ Grill or Bake:
🔥 Preheat a grill or oven to 400°F. Brush veal rolls with olive oil. Grill skewers over medium heat or bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 10–12 minutes, turning once until browned and cheese is melted inside.

5️⃣ Serve:
🍋 Transfer to a platter and serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite Sicilian sides.
