A self-made meat loaf is simply indispensable in the household. With it, you can make sandwiches for your child to school or to take with you to work. The roll can be cut into thick slices, reheated in the microwave and served framed fresh or canned vegetables as a standalone dish. Or you can not heat it - it will be an excellent cold snack for beer. Below is a recipe for minced meat roll.

Ingredients

To prepare a meat loaf, you can take any minced meat - beef, pork, mixed, turkey or chicken. But you need to take into account the density of the meat - because it affects the baking time. To prepare a minced meat roll from a kilogram of semi-finished product, you need to stock up on five eggs, an onion, a couple of spoons canned peas, five tablespoons of mayonnaise, a large spoonful of some seasoning for meat (hops-suneli will always help out) and black peppercorns. Naturally, you will need salt and a small bunch of dill.

Minced meat roll: filling preparation

In this dish, the main taste is in the filling. If you have an onion, chop it finely and sauté in a few spoons butter. If green feathers, just finely chop them. Hard boil the eggs, peel and finely chop them into a bowl with an onion. Sprinkle with salt (a third of a spoon) and black pepper (a pinch). Add one and a half tablespoons of mayonnaise, knead the mixture well.

Filling options

It must be said that the above recipe is not a strict guide to action. Minced meat roll can be prepared with different fillings, and each time you will get a new dish. Here are some quick cooking tips:

• knead liver pate with scalded prunes and browned onions;
• in mashed potatoes squeeze one or two cloves of garlic through a garlic press, add grated cheese and chopped dill;
• fry chicken offal (ventricles, liver and heart) in an onion, mix with a boiled egg;
• minced meat roll with mushrooms is especially good - the gifts of the forests are fried in oil with onions and grated carrots.

Connecting fantasy, you can come up with your own own recipe fillings. The main thing is that it does not come out very wet, otherwise the loaf will fall apart.

Roll preparation

If you bought store-bought minced meat, then most likely the unscrupulous manufacturer added water there - for more weight. Therefore, such a product must be pressed. Excess moisture can be eliminated in another way - by adding breadcrumbs. We clean the onion and chop it in a blender (or finely chop). Add it to the mince. Salt and pepper, put the necessary spices. We turn on the oven. The most difficult moment comes - the formation of a loaf. On the baking sheet where the minced meat roll will be baked, put a clean towel. We spread the meat mass on it (it should be a bit dry), level it with a layer. Lubricate the minced meat with mayonnaise and lay out the filling. Sprinkle canned peas on top. We take the wide edge of the towel and begin to roll up the roll. We act very carefully so that the stuffing does not tear. We shift the loaf to a greased vegetable oil foil sheet. We also flavor the roll with oil with a silicone brush. With a knife, we draw shallow notches in the form of rhombuses on the top of the product. Decorate each diamond with a peppercorn (slightly push it inward). We press the edges of the foil to the sides of the roll so that the juice does not flow out. Is the oven already preheated? We put the baking sheet at 175 ° C for an hour and a half. 10 minutes before the end of the process, the fire can be added to form a crust.

It can even be stored in the freezer and, as necessary, cut and reheat not only in the microwave, but also in a double boiler or grill! Or do not reheat at all and serve as cold appetizer. The fillings for the roll can be anything. Now you will not be scared of unexpected guests :)

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of minced meat (you can use any, I have turkey);
• 100 grams of onions;
• 5 hard boiled eggs;
• 30-50 grams of green dill;
• 50-80 grams of green canned peas;
• 1 tablespoon Khmeli-Suneli seasoning (if you don’t like very spicy, reduce);
• 1-1.5 tablespoons of salt (if fine, take less, as this salt is more salty);
• 5 tablespoons with a slide of mayonnaise;
• a little freshly ground black pepper.

To decorate the roll: black peppercorns.

How to cook meatloaf

We make the stuffing from eggs and green onions. green onion and boiled eggs finely cut, add 0.3 teaspoons of salt and black pepper, 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise and mix everything well.



Filling options for meatloaf

You can make a roll with a new filling every time and the taste will be different! The only thing is that the filling should not be very wet. I offer options for fillings for meatloaf:
- fried mushrooms, onions, carrots;
- stewed chicken liver with onions (drain the water, grind into a pate) and prunes;
- mashed potatoes with cheese and dill;
offal (liver, heart, chicken stomachs) and an egg.
These are the ones I like. You can come up with something of your own, for example, add some cranberries to the filling or something else :)

Step 2. Cooking minced meat for the roll. I have minced turkey, it is not greasy and the consistency is correct (there is no excess water), but if you have minced meat, for example, chicken or turkey, but the radish manufacturer added water there for weight, then first you need to squeeze the minced meat if possible. If it’s chicken, then don’t even suffer - add a little crushed crackers or the pulp of a long loaf. Just don't overdo it, it's all the same meatloaf, not bread :)



Finely chop the onion, or even better chop it in a blender. Add the onion to the minced meat, pour salt, spices there, mix everything well.



Cooking meatloaf. Now the most interesting%) We put the oven to warm up, we ourselves take a sheet on which we will bake the roll, put a clean bag on the sheet. Put the stuffing for the roll on the bag and distribute it evenly. According to the indicated volume, minced meat occupies almost the entire bag.



Lubricate the minced meat on top with the remaining mayonnaise and distribute the filling, sprinkle with green peas on top.



We start rolling the roll. Grasp the edges of the bag from the side of the length of the bag (wide edge) and help with the bag, start rolling the roll. Do not hurry! Make the movements evenly so that the roll rolls equally from all sides.



And so you roll until the last edge of the minced meat remains on the bag. Then, take the foil, put it on a sheet where there is no longer a bag and grease it with vegetable oil on top. Slightly lifting the bag with the roll, put it on the foil.

Ready? Well done, we are already close to the goal! Now grease the top of the roll with vegetable oil. I use a silicone brush for these purposes - very convenient and hygienic! We take a knife and make longitudinal notches about 5 mm deep on the roll, first in one direction, then in the other. It turns out like an uneven diamond-shaped cell :) Put a pea of ​​black pepper on each cell and press it a little. Be sure to push it in a little, otherwise you will simply take it off later when you grease the meatloaf.

We bake a roll. We slightly lift the edges of the foil and press it against the roll. We do this so that when juice flows from the roll, it soaks it, and does not spread over the tray.



We put the roll in an oven heated to 175 degrees. We will cook it for about 1-1.5 hours. In the last 10 minutes, the fire can be added a little.

Every 10-15 minutes, use a silicone brush to grease the roll with juice that will flow from the meat into the foil.



Bend the foil a little so that the sides also blush.

How to check readiness?

Due to the fact that we watered the roll, it turned out to be an appetizing crust on top, and soft meat inside. Take a knitting needle and pierce the roll, juice should not flow from it and fresh minced meat should not remain on the knitting needle, in addition, it will become a very beautiful ruddy color. You can even guess by this!

When the roll is ready, it can be served on the festive table. Serve whole without cutting, because it is prettier that way. You can put it on lettuce leaves and put cherry tomatoes and long slices of fresh cucumber around.

It is better to store it in foil, you can in the freezer. Try this wonderful dish! I am sure you will like it very much, and it looks festive and elegant!
