Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 800 g (28.2 oz) minced meat
- 6 eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 100 g (3.5 oz) ham, sliced
Vegetables and Greens:
- 130 g (4.6 oz) spinach
Seasonings and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 12 g (0.42 oz) salt
- 7 g (0.25 oz) black pepper
- 10 g (0.35 oz) sweet paprika
- 40 g (1.4 oz) bread crumbs
- 100 g (3.5 oz) hard cheese, grated
- 20 ml (0.7 fl oz) oil
Instructions
- Blend ground meat with egg, seasoning, and breadcrumbs until uniformly mixed.
- Unfold grill mesh on a clean work surface and distribute meat mixture evenly across the surface.
- Create a layered arrangement by placing ham slices, grated cheese, and spinach leaves over the meat foundation.
- Position hard-boiled eggs in a straight line through the center of the meat layer.
- Utilize the grill mesh to carefully and tightly roll the meat into a compact cylindrical shape, ensuring secure edges.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (around 350°F).
- Gently transfer the meat roulade into the heated pan, rotating carefully to maintain its structural integrity.
- Cook the roulade for approximately 10 minutes per side, monitoring the exterior for a rich golden-brown coloration and ensuring internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove from heat and allow the roulade to rest for 5-7 minutes to redistribute internal juices.
- Slice the roulade into elegant medallions and present with complementary side dishes.
Notes
- Choose lean ground meat for a healthier version of the roulade, reducing overall fat content while maintaining flavor.
- Ensure even meat spreading on the grill mesh to create a uniform thickness, which helps consistent cooking and prevents dry edges.
- Consider using alternative fillings like roasted vegetables or different cheeses for dietary preferences or to experiment with flavor combinations.
- Rotate the roulade carefully during frying to achieve an evenly golden-brown exterior and prevent burning or uneven cooking.
