Re: Italian stuffing for veal breast (ponsette)
Our family had something similar. We have tried to make it for years, never comes out right.
Ours had no rice. Just bread crumbs, Romano, raisins, maybe some egg or a little milk to wet the bread crumbs.
I think it used a lot of the Romano.
When it was used to stuff turkey, chicken it came out like a pudding.
It was great cold, too, and could be sliced and re-heated.
Never found a recipe, never been able to match...

Re: Italian stuffing for veal breast (ponsette)
We have one for turkey dressing that is like a savory bread pudding: toasted bread, milk, eggs, broth, colby cheese, sauteed onions and celery. Let me know if that sounds about right and I'll type it up and send it in. My brother makes a batch and has it for beakfast, lunch and dinner.

Re: Italian stuffing for veal breast (ponsette)
the veal breast that famiglia bought years ago was probalby from a small independent market. the market may have slaughtered these calves that ranged from 2 weeks to 4 weeks old. if not a local slaughter house. the veal breast weighed 2 to 31/2 pounds.
the veal that you finded in todays super market is not same. the breast could weigh 5-8 lbs.
the end result is not the same, not as you remember it.
