Meat Rolls

Here is a recipe to prepare Meat Rolls:

Ingredients

• Thin slices of meat (veal, pork, or beef): 8-10
• Prosciutto ham: 8-10 slices
• Cheese (such as scamorza or provolone): sliced thinly
• Sage: a few leaves
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper: to taste
• White wine: for deglazing
• Toothpicks: to secure the rolls

Preparation

1. Prepare the Rolls: Lay out the meat slices on a cutting board. Place a slice of prosciutto ham and a slice of cheese on each meat slice. Add a sage leaf to each roll.

2. Roll and Secure: Roll the meat around the filling to form a roll. Secure each roll with a toothpick to keep it closed during cooking.

3. Brown the Rolls: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Add the rolls and brown them on all sides until golden.

4. Deglaze with Wine: Once golden, add some white wine to the pan to deglaze. Let the alcohol evaporate.

5. Cook: Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the rolls cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally. If necessary, add a little water or broth to keep the cooking base moist.

6. Season: At the end of cooking, remove the toothpicks, check the seasoning, and adjust with pepper.

7. Serve: Serve the rolls hot, perhaps with a side of vegetables or a portion of mashed potatoes.

Suggestions

• Variations: You can vary the filling of the rolls by adding ingredients such as spinach, mushrooms, or caramelized onions.
• Meat: Choose thin slices of meat to ensure they cook evenly and roll easily.
• Cooking: Make sure that the meat is fully cooked, but not too dry. Slow and covered cooking helps keep the rolls juicy.

Meat rolls are a versatile and delicious dish, perfect for a family lunch or a special dinner. Enjoy your meal!
