Here’s how to prepare these delicious rolls, step by step.

Ingredients needed

- 600 g pork shoulder (a piece of meat from which to obtain a strip)
- 200 g grated cheese
- 200 g mushrooms (choose your favorite type: champignon, porcini, or oyster mushrooms)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1-2 eggs (depending on the desired consistency of the filling)
- 2 slices of bread, soaked in water and well drained
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A few crushed pretzels, for sprinkling on top
- 200 ml beer (for a special flavor)

Preparing the filling

1. Preparing the mushrooms and onion: Start by cleaning the mushrooms and onion. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes and chop the onion. In a pan over low heat, add a little oil and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent, then add the mushrooms. Cook everything together for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their water and become slightly browned.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms with the onion, grated cheese, crushed garlic, eggs, sour cream, bread slices, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous paste.

Preparing the rolls

3. Preparing the meat: Place the strip of pork on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet to flatten it evenly so that it becomes thinner and easier to roll. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the meat.

4. Filling the roll: Spread the mushroom and cheese filling over the strip of meat, being careful to leave a small edge if you want to prevent the filling from spilling out. Carefully roll the meat to form a tight roll, ensuring that the filling stays inside. Use toothpicks to secure the roll.

5. Preparing for the oven: Place the roll in a loaf pan or a baking dish. Sprinkle crushed pretzels on top for added texture and crunch. Add the beer to the dish next to the roll to add moisture and flavor.

Baking

6. Baking the roll: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the roll in the oven and let it bake for about 60 minutes. Check occasionally, basting the roll with the sauce from the dish to keep it moist and flavorful.

7. Cooling and serving: Once the roll is done, let it cool slightly before slicing. This step is important to avoid crumbling the filling. Serve the sliced roll alongside a salad of assorted pickles for a contrast of flavors.

Useful tips

- Choosing the meat: You can also use chicken or turkey if you prefer a leaner option.
- Variations of the filling: Instead of mushrooms, you can use sautéed spinach or roasted peppers for a more colorful and different filling.
- Suitable drinks: These rolls pair wonderfully with a dry red wine or a cold blonde beer.

Nutritional benefits

This dish is an excellent source of protein due to the pork and eggs, while mushrooms bring fiber and antioxidants to the diet. The cheese adds calcium and healthy fats, and the sour cream contributes to creaminess.

Frequently asked questions

- Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with feta or mozzarella for a different taste.
- How can I store the roll? The roll keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave.
