Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:

For the rolls:
- 1.5 kg pork tenderloin
- 200 ml beer (choose a light beer for a milder taste)
- 200 ml water
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter

For the filling:
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 large carrot
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 6 fresh mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Chili, oregano, salt – to taste

Preparation of the rolls:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by cutting the pork tenderloin lengthwise, then gently pound it with a meat mallet until it becomes a uniform, almost square strip. This will help achieve perfect rolls. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices, then leave it in the fridge for an hour. This step is essential to allow the flavors to penetrate.

2. Preparing the filling: In a pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat it together with a tablespoon of water. When the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, and mushrooms, all diced. Let them sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the rice and 2 cups of boiling water. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Finalizing the filling: After 10 minutes, add the tomato sauce, finely chopped garlic, chili, and oregano. Mix well and let it cook for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. The filling should be moist but not liquid, so it doesn’t soak the rolls.

4. Forming the rolls: Take the pork tenderloin out of the fridge. Place a tablespoon of filling at one end of the meat strip and carefully roll it up, ensuring the filling stays inside. Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the rolls.

5. Baking the rolls: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a buttered baking dish, place the rolls, add the water and beer. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and put it in the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes. Every 15 minutes, baste the rolls with the sauce in the dish to keep them moist and enhance the flavors.

6. Finalizing and serving: In the last 10 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and add sliced garlic for extra flavor. Let the rolls brown nicely. When ready, slice them and serve warm, alongside pickles, for a delicious contrast.

Practical tips:

- Choosing the meat: Make sure to use fresh, quality pork. Pork tenderloin is ideal for rolls due to its tender texture.
- Vegetarian option: Replace the meat with thinly sliced eggplant or zucchini and fill them with the same vegetables and rice for a vegetarian option.
- Storing the filling: You can use leftover filling as a side dish for other meals or turn it into a delicious soup.

Nutritional benefits: Pork rolls are rich in protein, and the vegetable and rice filling provides a healthy supply of fiber and vitamins. The beer used in the sauce also contributes to a unique flavor and adds antioxidants.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use another type of meat?
Yes, you can experiment with chicken or turkey, which are easier to digest and lower in fat.

2. How can I store the rolls for the next day?
The rolls can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or in a pan with a bit of sauce to revive their flavor.

3. What drinks pair best with this dish?
A cold beer or a dry red wine can perfectly complement this dish. Additionally, a cold herbal tea can provide a refreshing note.
