Recipe Introduction
Grandma's meat rolls
List of Ingredients
400 grams of thinly sliced beef
100 grams of ham
1 celery stalk, or 1 slice of celery root
1 carrot
1 onion
1 garlic boat
1/2 deciliters of bouillon
1 deciliter of white wine
flour
salt
pepper
sage
oil
butter
4 big slices of white bread
Recipe
Pound the slices of beef as thin as possible, and part them in suitable slices, about 8-10 centimeters squares. Put a piece of ham on each slice of beef. Carve celery and carrot in thin strips, and put some of these on each slice of beef. Sprinkle carefully salt, pepper and sage on top, then roll the slices together. Use cocktail sticks or a suitable type of thread to keep them together, and turn them lightly in the flour. Chop the onion and garlic. Warm a mixture of butter and oil in a pan, and fry the rolls. Put the chopped vegetables in the pan the last part of the frying time. When the rolls have a nice, even colour and the onion's glossy, add one glass of white wine. Turn down the heat a bit, and when the wine is somewhat vapourized, add a bit of water. Let the rolls simmer under a lid for about an hour.
Fry the loaves of white bread in butter, or toast them (without butter). Put the slices on a serving dish, and spread the rolls on them. Pour the sauce over so it'll get into the bread.
