Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Necessary ingredients:

- 250 g sliced bacon
- 500 g ground beef
- 500 g ground pork
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
- 4 boiled eggs (for filling)
- 3 raw eggs (for mixture)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
- 20 g ground pepper
- 50 g spices (mixed spices to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Herbs (tarragon)
- 1 head of garlic, finely chopped
- 4 large onions, finely chopped
- 20 g hot paprika

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preparing all the ingredients. Finely chop the onions, parsley, and garlic. Boil the eggs for the filling, then let them cool. It is important to have all the ingredients at hand to ease your cooking process.

2. Mixing the composition: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Add the 3 raw eggs, parsley, chopped onion (both dried and green), garlic, spices, pepper, salt, tarragon, and hot paprika. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients well, ensuring they are evenly incorporated. A good idea is to taste a bit of the mixture to check the intensity of the spices.

3. Preparing the tray: Place a sheet of baking paper in a baking tray. Lay the slices of bacon on the baking paper, leaving half of them in the tray and the other half hanging over the edge. This will allow the bacon to brown nicely during baking.

4. Forming the roll: Place half of the meat mixture over the bacon slices in the tray. Carefully place the 4 boiled eggs in the center of the meat mixture. Along with the eggs, add the thin slices of red bell pepper for an extra splash of color and flavor. Cover with the other half of the meat mixture.

5. Wrapping the roll: Gather the bacon slices that are hanging over the meat mixture, thus covering the roll. Cover the roll with another sheet of baking paper to prevent the bacon from burning.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to a medium temperature (about 180°C). Place the tray in the oven and let the roll bake for about 1 hour. After this time, remove the baking paper from the surface of the roll to allow the bacon to become crispy. Leave the roll in the oven for a few more minutes.

7. Serving: Once the bacon is browned and crispy, remove the roll from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the roll warm, alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Useful tips:

- Choosing the meat: Use quality ground beef and pork, preferably from a local butcher, for better flavor.
- Flavoring the spices: Feel free to experiment with different herbs. Adding oregano or rosemary can give an interesting note to the dish.
- Vegetarian option: You can replace the meat with a combination of vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant, mixed with feta cheese for a delicious vegetarian version.

Nutritional benefits:

This roll contains rich proteins from the beef and pork, as well as from the eggs, having a considerable content of B vitamins, essential for energy metabolism. Tarragon and parsley provide an extra boost of antioxidants and vitamins, contributing to a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use other types of meat?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of meat, such as chicken or turkey, for a lighter version.

2. How can I store the roll?
The roll can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven to restore the crispiness of the bacon.
