1. Top 1 piece of veal with 2 basil leaves and 1 piece of mozzarella. Roll up to enclose filling. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remainingveal, basil leaves and mozzarella.
2. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook veal, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
