Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30-40 minutes
Total time: 55-55 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients you will need:
- 6 slices of pork tenderloin (about 1 cm thick)
- 5-6 chicken sausages (or other preferred types)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil
- 200 g peeled tomatoes in their own juice (you can also use fresh tomatoes if you prefer)
- Water (about 100 ml)
Preparation steps:
1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing the pork tenderloin slices under cold running water. Then, dry them well with a paper towel. This step is essential for achieving a nice crust during baking.
2. Tenderizing the slices: Use a meat mallet to gently pound each pork slice. The goal is to thicken them slightly, but not so much that they break apart. This trick will help the meat cook evenly.
3. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika on each slice of meat. These spices will add wonderful flavor to your rolls, so don't neglect them.
4. Filling with sausages: Place one sausage on each pork slice. If you prefer, you can cut the sausages into smaller pieces, depending on the size of the meat slices. An important detail: don't forget to prick the sausages with a fork before rolling them up! This step is essential to prevent the rolls from bursting during baking.
5. Forming the rolls: Carefully roll each slice of meat with the sausage inside and secure the rolls with toothpicks to maintain their shape. Make sure they are well sealed so that the filling doesn't leak out during baking.
6. Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, chop the peeled tomatoes and mix them with 100 ml of water. You can add a teaspoon of salt and pepper, to taste. This sauce will provide moisture and flavor to your rolls.
7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a baking dish with a little oil and place the sausage rolls inside. Pour the tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil to retain moisture.
8. Cooking in the oven: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the meat is tender and well cooked. It is important to check the rolls after 30 minutes to ensure they do not dry out.
9. Serving: Once the rolls are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Remove the toothpicks and serve them with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or a bell pepper stew, as I did. The taste is simply delicious!
Serving suggestions and variations:
You can experiment with different types of meat, such as chicken or turkey, and you can add cheese to the filling for extra flavor. You can also replace the tomatoes with sour cream sauce or mushroom sauce for a creamier version.
