Number of servings: 4

Ingredients
- 2-4 slices of pork shoulder (for schnitzel)
- Fresh pork sausages (as many slices of shoulder as you have)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Oregano, to preference
- A few fresh mint leaves
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
- Red wine (optional, for added flavor)

Preparation

1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing the pork shoulder slices under cold running water. Make sure to dry them well with a kitchen towel. This step is essential for achieving an even browning in the oven.

2. Tenderizing the meat: Use a meat mallet to pound each slice of shoulder until they are thin and even. This will help the meat cook evenly and make rolling easier.

3. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on each slice of meat. Don't be stingy, as the spices are essential for enhancing the flavors.

4. Adding the sausages: Place a slice of fresh sausage on each slice of shoulder. Make sure to use quality sausages, as they will add extra flavor to the roll.

5. Rolling the meat: Begin rolling each slice of meat with sausage from one end to the other, ensuring that the filling stays well enclosed. Use kitchen twine to tie the roll so it doesn't come apart during baking.

6. Final seasoning: After the rolls are tied, sprinkle oregano and chopped mint leaves on top. These will add an unmistakable fragrance and a touch of freshness.

7. Drizzling with oil: Drizzle the rolls with olive oil (or another preferred type of oil) to keep them juicy during baking. The oil also helps achieve a golden, appetizing crust.

8. Baking: Place the rolls in a baking dish and put them in the preheated oven at 180°C. Bake for about 40 minutes, being sure to drizzle the rolls with the oil from the dish halfway through the cooking time to keep them moist.

9. Adding the red wine: About 10 minutes before removing the rolls from the oven, you can drizzle a bit of red wine to add a sophisticated note and rich flavor.

10. Serving: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve them warm, alongside a side of grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Tips and tricks
- For a healthier option: You can replace the sausages with a vegetable or goat cheese filling.
- Spice variations: Experiment with other spices such as garlic powder or paprika to personalize the flavor.
- Perfect pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with a dry red wine or a light blonde beer that will highlight the flavors of the meat.

Nutritional benefits
