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

Ingredients

For the preparation of 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 - after all, this affects the baking time. To make 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 kind of seasoning for meat (hops-suneli will always help out) and black peppercorns. Naturally, you will need salt and a small bunch of dill greens.

Minced meat roll: preparing the filling

In this dish, the main relish is in the filling. If you have an onion, chop it finely and save in a few spoons. butter... If the feathers are green, just chop them finely. Hard-boiled eggs, peel and chop finely into a container with onions. 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 cooked with different fillings, and every time you get a new dish. Here are some quick tips for making them:

• mix liver pate with scalded prunes and sautéed onions;
• v 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;
• the minced meat roll with mushrooms is especially good - the gifts of the forests are fried in oil with onions and grated carrots.

By connecting imagination, 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 disintegrate.

Cooking a roll

If you bought a store-bought minced meat, then, most likely, the shameless manufacturer added water there - for more weight. Therefore, such a product must be squeezed out. Excess moisture can be eliminated in another way - by adding breadcrumbs... Peel and chop the onion in a blender (or finely-finely chop). Add it to the minced meat. Salt and pepper, add the necessary spices. We turn on the oven. The most difficult moment comes - the formation of the loaf. Put a clean towel on the baking sheet where the minced meat roll will be baked. We spread the meat mass on it (it should be dry), level it with a layer. Lubricate the minced meat with mayonnaise and spread the filling. Sprinkle canned peas on top, grab the wide edge of the towel and start rolling up the roll. We act very carefully so that the minced meat does not break. We transfer the loaf to a sheet of foil greased with vegetable oil. We also season the roll itself with oil using 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 (press it in a little). Press the edges of the foil to the sides of the roll so that the juice does not flow out. Has the oven already warmed up? We put the baking sheet at 175 ° C for an hour and a half. 10 minutes before the end of the process, the heat can be added to form a crust.

This is an absolutely win-win dish. Loaf of minced chicken- an excellent alternative to cutlets, and this dish also looks wonderful on the festive table, complementing it.

It can even be stored in the freezer and sliced ​​and reheated as needed, not only in the microwave, but also in a double boiler or grill! Or do not warm up at all and serve as cold appetizer... There can be any fillings for the roll, so you won't be frightened by 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 canned green peas;
• 1 tablespoon of Khmeli-Suneli seasoning (if you don’t like too much spice, reduce it);

How to cook meatloaf

We make the filling with eggs and green onions. Green onions and finely chop the boiled eggs, 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 meatloaf fillings:
- fried mushrooms, onions, carrots;
- stewed chicken liver with onions (drain the water, grind into pate) and prunes;
- mashed potatoes with cheese and dill;
- offal (liver, heart, chicken stomachs) and an egg.
These are the ones that I like. You can come up with something of your own, for example, add some cranberries to the filling or something else :)

Step 2. Prepare the minced meat for the roll. I have turkey mince, 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 manufacturer's radish added water there for weight, then first you need to squeeze the minced meat if possible. If it is chicken, then do not even suffer - add a little ground crackers or the pulp of a 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 the sheet on which we will bake the roll, put a clean bag on the sheet. Put the minced meat for the roll on the bag and distribute it evenly. According to the specified volume, the minced meat occupies almost the entire bag.



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



We begin to roll the roll. Grab the edges of the bag from the side of the length of the bag (wide edge) and, helping with the bag, begin to roll the roll. Do not hurry! Make 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 roll with vegetable oil on top. For these purposes I use a silicone brush - it is very convenient and hygienic! We take a knife and on a roll we make longitudinal notches with a depth of about 5 mm, 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 press in a little, otherwise you will simply take it away later when you grease the meatloaf.

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



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

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 slightly so that the sides also blush.

How to check readiness?

Due to the fact that we watered the roll, it got 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 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'm sure you will like it very much, and it looks festive and elegant!
