Meat Rolls with Cheese Filling a la Pizzaiola

To start this delicious recipe, the first step is to take care of the meat. Choose a fresh piece of beef, pork, or chicken, depending on personal preferences. Using a meat mallet, pound the slices until they become very thin, being careful not to tear them. This step is essential, as thin meat will allow the filling to melt evenly and integrate perfectly into the roll.

Once you have the thin slices of meat, prepare the cheese. Choose three types of cheese: mozzarella, goat cheese, and parmesan. Cut each type of cheese into long sticks, which will be placed along the length of the meat slices. This mix of cheeses will provide a rich and varied flavor to the roll. On each slice of meat, place one stick of each type of cheese, making sure to leave a little space at the ends to avoid cheese spilling during baking.

After filling the meat slices, carefully roll them up like cabbage rolls, folding the ends to seal the cheese inside. Use wooden or metal toothpicks to secure the rolls, ensuring they are well fixed so they do not unravel during cooking.

In a skillet, add a tablespoon of oil and heat it well. Place the meat rolls in the skillet and fry them over high heat for one minute on each side until they become golden and crispy. This step will add a delicious texture to the rolls.

Once the rolls are browned, add the cubes of fresh tomatoes, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and a few whole garlic cloves. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano to enhance the flavors. Lower the heat and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the tomato sauce to thicken and develop a rich flavor. Be careful to monitor the skillet, as the sauce should not boil too hard and burn.

When the rolls are ready, serve them hot, with toothpicks inserted for a rustic look. If the toothpicks are wooden, it's better to leave them in the rolls, but if you have metal toothpicks, you can easily remove them. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or to impress guests at a festive meal. The rolls will be filled with melted cheese, and the tomato sauce will add a delicious contrast. Enjoy this simple yet sophisticated recipe and savor every bite!
