Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 60-90 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes - 1 hour 50 minutes
Number of servings: 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

- 800 g pork (the thigh is ideal for a tender texture)
- 1/2 jar (400 g) mushrooms (preferably champignon mushrooms)
- 1 boiled egg (make sure it is hard-boiled for easy slicing)
- 2 tablespoons thick and fatty sour cream (for a rich taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (to prevent sticking)
- 4 cloves of garlic (to add extra flavor)
- 2-3 green onion tops (for a fresh note)
- A handful of fresh parsley (for a fragrant taste)
- Thyme (for a subtle aroma)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)

Preparation:

1. Boiling the egg: Start by boiling the egg in a pot with cold water. Let it boil for about 8 minutes until it is completely cooked. Once boiled, remove it and cool it under cold running water, then peel and slice it.

2. Preparing the ingredients: Finely chop the green onion tops and parsley. If you do not have sliced mushrooms, cut them into thin slices. These ingredients will add texture and flavor to the roll.

3. Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. This sauce will be the base of the filling, bringing a creamy and savory taste.

4. Preparing the meat: Use a meat mallet to pound the pork until it becomes thin. The thinner it is, the easier it will roll, and the section will look better. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, then spread the sour cream sauce evenly over the entire surface.

5. Adding the filling: Sprinkle the green onion, parsley, sliced mushrooms, and boiled egg slices over the entire surface of the meat. Indulge in the flavors and colors of the ingredients!

6. Rolling: Now comes the exciting part – rolling! Start from one edge and roll the meat as tightly as possible, being careful not to let the filling spill out. Use kitchen twine to tie the roll, making sure it is well secured.

7. Baking: Place the roll in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle a little thyme on top for an extra flavor. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the roll for 60-90 minutes until it is nicely browned. It is recommended to check it periodically to ensure it is cooked evenly.

8. Cooling: After removing the roll from the oven, let it cool slightly, then place a weight on top. This step is essential to give it a nice shape and allow the juices to redistribute. Ideally, let it cool for at least 4-5 hours, but if you are impatient, you can serve it immediately!

Practical tips:

- Choose the right meat: Pork thigh is ideal for this recipe, but you can also use other types of meat, such as chicken breast, for a lighter version.
- Vary the filling: You can add other vegetables to the filling, such as grated carrots or bell peppers, to diversify the flavors.
- Serving: The roll can be served warm or cold, alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes. A mustard sauce or yogurt sauce can perfectly complement the taste.

Nutritional benefits:

Pork is an excellent source of protein and contains B vitamins, which are essential for the health of the nervous system. Mushrooms provide fiber and antioxidants, while parsley is rich in vitamins C and K. This roll is not only tasty but also nutritious.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can it be prepared in advance? Yes, the roll can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. The flavor will intensify and will be even better the next day.
- Can I use beef? Sure! A beef roll will have a different taste but just as delicious.
- How can I adjust the calorie level? You can use pork with a lower fat content or replace the sour cream with a lighter version.
