How to Make Minced Meat Rolls
In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with 2 of the raw eggs. Season with black pepper, sweet paprika, tomato paste, and chopped parsley. Mix everything together until well combined.
Peel and dice the onion. Heat some vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat, then add the chopped onion. Stir until the onions are soft and fragrant.
Peel and chop the carrot, then add it to the pan. Next, dice the red pepper and toss it in as well. Stir and let the vegetables simmer for a few minutes until they’re tender.
Remove the vegetable mix from heat and add it to the bowl with the minced meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until the flavors meld together.
Boil the remaining 2 eggs until hard-boiled. Peel and grate them on a coarse grater, along with the mozzarella.
In the same bowl, add the grated eggs, minced garlic, and mayonnaise. Season this mixture with salt and pepper, then mix until well-combined.
Lay a piece of cling film on a flat surface. Place some of the minced meat mixture on the cling film and shape it into a rectangle. Spread a spoonful of the mayonnaise mixture on top and add half a chopped pickle. Tightly roll it up using the cling film.
Place the rolled meat into a baking dish and repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the meat rolls for about 20 minutes.
For the glaze, mix tomato paste, soy sauce, mustard, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush each meat roll with the glaze, then sprinkle the grated yellow cheese on top.
Return the rolls to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite side dish.
