Rouladen

Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 4 slices beef schnitzel
• 4 slices prosciutto (you can use bacon or ham, too)
• 1 onion, small and finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 2 gherkins, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup flour, plain
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup water
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon flour, plain
• 1/2 cup red wine

Recipe

• 1 roll out the schnitzel or pound gently with tenderiser. spread a thin layer of mustard on each piece of schnitzel. mix together the onion, garlic and gherkins and spread over the mustard. then layer a piece of proscuitto on to each piece of schnitzel.
• 2 roll meat up and tie together with string or use tooth picks to hold together. string works best, but toothpicks will suffice.
• 3 toss each beef parcel in the flour until nicely covered. fry in hot oil until browned all over. add the second sliced onion and 1 tbsp of flour. let it brown then add some water, stirring to prevent lumps occurring. add salt and pepper to taste.
• 4 put lid on pot and cook slowly for 1½ - 2 hrs (depends on the size of the rouladen). a dutch oven is ideal for this.
• 5 remove rouladen, keep warm under foil.
• 6 add red wine to the sauce, add more salt and pepper to taste if necessary. give it a good whisk, pour over rouladen.
• 7 served with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and cooked red cabbage, this is delicious!
