Ingredients:

1/2   cup           extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups          dried bread crumbs
1/2   cup           grated caciocavallo cheese
1/4   cup           currants
                    for 10 minutes and drained
1/4   cup           toasted pine nuts
1     bunch         fresh chopped parsley leaves
                    for garnish
1     large         egg
2 1/2 pounds        veal scallops
                    about 2" wide and 6" long
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
3     medium        onions
                    and lightly roasted
24    small         bay leaves
                    Lemon halves

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Set out 6 (8-inch) metal or wooden skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.
Place a medium frying pan over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and heat until hot, but not smoking. Add the bread crumbs. Stir constantly and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. The mixture should be moist, but not wet. Remove from the heat and place the bread crumbs in a bowl. Add the caciocavallo, currants, pine nuts, parsley and egg and gently mix together.
Preheat grill or broiler.
Spread the veal slices out onto a clean work surface. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon equal amounts of the bread crumb stuffing into the center of each veal piece, gently patting the stuffing down. Roll each veal piece into a small roll.
Make the kebabs: Force a skewer through the center of an onion slice, a bay leaf, and a veal roll. Repeat, in the same order, 2 more times. Finish each kebab with 1 last bay leaf and onion slice. Make sure all the ingredients are pressed snugly together.
Brush the kebabs with extra-virgin olive oil and cook over a preheated grill or broiled until tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
To serve, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
Garnish with parsley.
