Meat rolls are a dish that was invented a long time ago. It is a slice of meat with a filling such as cheese, mushrooms, vegetables, herbs, other meat or eggs wrapped in it. Often, the roll is fastened with a toothpick, metal skewer or twine, sometimes tied with a rope. This is important so that the product does not disintegrate during the baking process.

The roll is considered a Western European, predominantly Germanic, dish, although its historical homeland is the Roman Empire. The cooking process was uncomplicated. The billet was fried in butter or vegetable oil and then stewed, usually in broth or wine, depending on the recipe. Before serving, the ropes and skewers were removed, and the roll itself was cut into portions, they were poured with meat sauce, which is suitable for the specific composition of the dish. Sometimes the rolls were baked in the oven in their own juice.

It is interesting! The name of this dish comes from the French word, which translated into Russian means "roll up".

By the way, today rolls are not always made with filling. Meat delicacies include rolls made from a whole piece of meat, and not necessarily from minced. It is usually pickled and topped with spices to make it more satisfying and flavorful. You can use all types of meat, as well as fish and seafood. The filling depends solely on the imagination of the chef. It is noteworthy that zrazy is one of the varieties of meatloaf.

History and secrets of cooking

Even then, the food was known and loved. This is evidenced by the finds discovered by researchers and archaeologists. They managed to find an old cookbook that was written in the fifth century BC. There, the researchers discovered a dish that is almost identical to today's meatloaf. The difference lies in the fact that in the ancient Roman era the food was known under the name "apicius".

In the Middle Ages, food took a significant place on the royal table. Subsequently, the food spread throughout Europe, especially in its western part. It began to be attributed to German cuisine, since it was there that chefs began to cook not just meat rolls, but real masterpieces. The culinary masters invented new forms and fillings, decided to use minced meat instead of meat slices.

There are some secrets of making a roll at home. It is advisable to adhere to them, like the recipe. Some simple guidelines will help you create an incredibly mouth-watering meal. So, the secrets boil down to this:

1. The main rule is the choice of quality products. They should not only be fresh (which goes without saying), but also of high quality. The most delicious will be farm meat rolls with homemade vegetables or fruits, other ingredients from trusted manufacturers.
2. The right choice of meat is also important. Preference should be given to chilled rather than frozen foods. If you follow this simple recommendation, then the food will turn out to be surprisingly juicy and mouth-watering. Also, pay attention to the appearance of the meat. Any meat should be light, and burgundy and brown shades indicate that the animals were old or even sick before slaughter. The fat should be white, not yellow or brownish.
3. Preference should be given to chicken, veal, pork and their combinations. It is from these types of meat that the most delicious roll is obtained.
4. To increase the juiciness of the roll, you can make it from minced meat by adding grated carrots, diced apples or pears to the composition. The last ingredient will also add a marvelous aroma.
5. If suddenly you make a meatloaf according to a recipe that involves the preparation of minced meat, and the latter turned out to be liquid, this is easy to fix. This is done by adding a small amount of bread crumbs or corn flakes to the minced meat.
6. Chili sauce will help to take care of the spicy taste, which will perfectly set off the taste of both a minced meat roll and a whole piece of meat. An interesting dressing will be sweet and sour sauce (it will add a touch of Asian cuisine) and even simple and familiar ketchup.
7. Remember that the main difficulty is assembling the roll. The quality, taste and effectiveness of the finished dish depend on the correctness of this process. To roll up the roll successfully, use plastic wrap or paper napkin and a plate, which is previously sprinkled with either flour or bread crumbs.

If you pamper yourself and your loved ones with delicious meat rolls, then be sure to find the very recipe that will be the best for you. And also you will understand how to cook correctly so that the dish always succeeds.

Types of meat rolls

Types of meat rolls are chopped and whole, with and without filling. Let's take a closer look at what is hidden behind these concepts. So, depending on the principle of cooking and the technological map of the dish, meat rolls are:

You can classify rolls and depending on the fillings used. There are an incredible number of them, so each hostess will easily pick up the one that is right for her. So, there are such popular variations:

1. Other types of meat. This roll turns out to be "rich", nourishing and very appetizing. As a filling, you can use chicken, pork, beef, rabbit, turkey and other birds. Offal (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, navels or ventricles, tongue, lard) are also suitable, although such a dish is obtained for an amateur. An extraordinary taste is combined with smoked or salted meat, with sausages (sausage, ham, wieners, sausages, sausages, bacon). The choice is huge.
2. Cereals, pasta and potatoes. From cereals, it is worth taking a closer look at buckwheat porridge, rice, barley and millet groats. These options allow you to create the most delicious roll. Sometimes semolina is also included in the filling for the roll. Fried or boiled potatoes, as well as mashed potatoes, will be an ideal option for both the outer (allowing you to form an appetizing shell) and the inner (will be soft and juicy) layer of the roll. You can even make a kind of batter from potatoes with an egg, covering a whole piece of meat with it, you can get a kind of pie or non-standard bread. But keep in mind that this can hardly be called a dietary dish, since the calorie content is high. Pasta, spaghetti and noodles will be an interesting addition, allowing you to take care of the satiety of your meal. You will get a dish in the Italian style.
3. Vegetables. This is one of the traditional fillings. Almost all vegetables are suitable: tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, pumpkin, bell peppers, spinach, cucumber, cabbage (white, broccoli, cauliflower), carrots, beets. Sometimes they are supplemented with onions, garlic, hot chili peppers, herbs (dill, parsley, basil, cilantro).
4. Fruits and dried fruits. As an independent ingredient, you can use prunes, dried apricots, apples, avocado, lemon, plums, raisins. If other types of fruits and berries are used, then only as additional components, since a non-standard combination of sweet and salty is obtained, which is not to everyone's taste.
5. Dairy products. Usually they use cream, sour cream, cheese, cottage cheese (mixed with a chicken egg and herbs). In addition to cottage cheese, the rest of the ingredients are auxiliary and are used to enhance the taste. Mozzarella, Parmesan, Gaudi and any hard varieties are suitable for cheeses.
6. Mushrooms. This is a classic filling that many people like. You can use absolutely any edible mushrooms, for example, champignons, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, porcini mushrooms, milk mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, aspen mushrooms and a number of other delicious mushrooms that will make the roll taste even better.
7. Olives and olives. Often used pitted. Olives and olives can be a stand-alone addition or have toppings such as lemon slices, anchovies, shrimp, capers.
8. Fish and seafood. The latter are added quite often, especially shrimp, squid, anchovies, mussels. But fish is not used very often, since the combination is rather non-standard. But for those who love culinary experiments, you can try.
9. Eggs. Most often they use chicken and quail. Whole eggs are used on their own: when the roll is cut, it turns out effectively. Ground eggs are mixed with other ingredients, including herbs, cream, mushrooms, vegetables. It turns out to be an appetizing filling. You can even make an omelet and wrap it in meat. It turns out "hussar" food.
10. Dough and pastries. The combination of meat with dough turns out to be interesting. The latter can be anything: yeast, unleavened, sandy, flaky. The difference from ordinary baked goods is that the meat is on the outside and the dough is on the inside. It turns out very appetizing and satisfying.
11. Other products. It all depends on your imagination. Experienced housewives complement the dish with gelatin-based dishes in a Jewish manner, use lavash in Azerbaijani, or make a roll with a lot of ingredients, as in American cuisine.
12. Mixed filling. It is used most often. The combinations can be any and depend solely on the imagination of the chef. The most popular are prunes and dried apricots, cheese and mushrooms, prunes with cream, pineapple and olives, olives and tomatoes, herbs and chicken eggs. Sometimes the dish is made flaky or several layers are used to make it as tasty as possible.

You can experiment and choose the most suitable filling for yourself.

Remember that you can change not only the inside of the food, but also the outside. The filling can be wrapped in slices of bacon or ham, in boiled or smoked chicken, in slices of beef or pork, in ground or minced meat.

General cooking principles

When preparing meat rolls, the preparation of the meat is very important. It needs not only to be washed, dried and cleaned of fat, but also properly cut, beaten off. The slices should be such that, when rolled, they do not open due to too large a thickness. And toothpicks will not help here! Next, the meat must be beaten off, but so that there are no holes in it after the kitchen hammer, otherwise the aromatic juice will flow out of the filling.

The recipe for stuffed rolls came to us from French cuisine, but not everyone agrees with this. Some sources claim that the roots of this dish go back to ancient Rome. Rolls are made small, they are also called fingers, and large, which are then cut into slices on a dish.

Chicken, beef, turkey, pork are used for this as a whole large layer or in small pieces. The filling can also change: mushrooms, ham, cheese, pasta, herbs, boiled vegetables, pickled cucumbers and dried fruits.

This dish is fried in a pan, and then either baked in an electric oven with sauce or in foil, or stewed in a cast iron on the stove.

This is one of the easiest dishes to prepare. They take a whole layer of meat, beat it with a hammer, put the filling on the edge, roll it up with a sausage and wrap it with thread so as not to unwind.

If it is made from minced meat or minced meat, then half of the mass is laid out in a rectangle on a flat dry surface, the filling is applied and covered with the remaining minced meat on top, the edges are covered and a sausage is formed.

Put butter in a stewpan with a thick bottom, then put the rolls tightly. Fry until pleasant color, add a little hot water, cover hermetically with a lid and simmer for ten minutes.

We spread it on a dish, let it cool and slowly cut off the threads. We cool for half an hour, and only after that we cut.
