Total time: 1 hour
Servings: 8

Ingredients
- 1 kg minced pork
- Himalayan pink salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
- 2 slices of bread (preferably whole grain)
- 1 egg
- A handful of finely chopped parsley and dill
- 2 tablespoons hot pepper jam (adjust to taste)
- 100 g coarsely chopped walnut

Ingredient details
Pork is an excellent choice for rolls due to its fat content, which contributes to the juiciness of the dish. The hot pepper jam adds an irresistible contrast, while the walnuts provide a crunchy texture. Using fresh garlic will intensify the flavors, and the fresh herbs will add a touch of freshness.

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the bread: Start by soaking the two slices of bread in warm water. After about 5 minutes, remove them and squeeze them well, then crumble them into small pieces.

2. Mixing the composition: In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with salt, pepper, paprika, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, crumbled bread, egg, and fresh herbs. Use your hands to mix the composition well. It is important that all ingredients are well integrated for a uniform and tasty roll.

3. Dividing the composition: Once you have a homogeneous mixture, divide the composition into two equal parts to form two rolls.

4. Forming the rolls: On a sheet of baking paper, spread one part of the mixture into a rectangle, being careful not to make it too thin. Spread a thin layer of hot pepper jam over the entire surface of the meat. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more jam!

5. Adding the walnuts: Sprinkle the coarsely chopped walnuts over the hot pepper jam. The walnuts not only add crunch but also a rich flavor that perfectly complements the combination.

6. Rolling: Using the baking paper as a guide, carefully roll the mixture, tightening it well. Make sure the roll is well-formed and that there are no gaps. Repeat the process with the other part of the composition.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rolls in a baking tray lined with baking paper and put them in the oven. Let them bake for 30-35 minutes, until they become golden and well-cooked.

8. Cooling and serving: After cooking, let the rolls cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing them. This step is important to prevent breaking the slices. You can serve the roll as an appetizer or alongside a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

Useful tips
- Variants: You can experiment with different types of meat, such as turkey or chicken, for a lighter version. You can also add feta cheese or mozzarella to the filling for a creamy note.
- Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use minced beef? Of course! Minced beef will provide a different taste and a denser texture.
- How can I store the roll? The roll keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but I recommend consuming it as soon as possible to retain its flavor.
- What can I serve with the roll? It pairs wonderfully with a garlic yogurt sauce or a summer salad.

Nutritional benefits
This roll, rich in protein and healthy fats from the walnuts, offers an ideal nutritious mix for a balanced meal. Additionally, hot peppers have metabolism benefits, and the fresh herbs provide essential vitamins and minerals.
