These rolls are the perfect combination of juicy meat, creamy cheese and a hint of spice, all cooked on a hot grill. Let the culinary adventure begin!

Ingredients needed:
- 500 g pork (you can also use chicken or turkey for a lighter version)
- 150 g grated cheese (choose quality cheese for a rich taste)
- 100 g corn (either fresh or canned)
- 3 tablespoons mustard (Dijon mustard is fine for a more refined flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chili sauce (optional, for extra spice)

A bit of history:
Meat rolls are a classic recipe found in various forms in many culinary cultures. Whether stuffed with vegetables, cheese or various cured meats, these dishes are prized for their versatility. Grilled, the rolls take on a smoky flavor and crispy texture, perfect for serving on hot summer days or at parties with friends.

Step by step for perfect rolls:

1. Meat preparation:
Start by cleaning the meat of any membranes or fat. Using a meat mallet, pound each piece of meat between two pieces of foil or baking paper until thin and even. This step is essential, as it will help the meat cook evenly and allow the stuffing to be tightly wrapped.

2. Seasoning:
Sprrinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the meat. This step will bring out the flavor of the meat and contribute to a richer taste. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as paprika or garlic powder, to personalize the recipe.

3. Filling the rolls:
On each piece of meat, spread a thin layer of mustard. Then add a slice of ham, a few kernels of corn and a generous portion of grated cheese. Add a few drops of chili sauce for extra spice. Fold in the edges of the meat and roll up tightly, making sure the stuffing stays well inside.

4. Attaching the rolls:
To avoid unrolling the rolls during cooking, you can secure them with toothpicks or tie them with kitchen twine. This detail will ensure a beautiful presentation and uniform taste.

5. Grilling:
Heat the grill to a medium temperature. If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure you have a steady fire. Place the rolls on the grill and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 75°C.

6. Serving:
Once the rolls are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Cut them into halves or slices and serve warm with a kale salad and fresh vegetables. A simple salad with tomatoes, cucumber and red onion will complement this dish perfectly.

Practical tips:
- Choose high-quality meat. Pork is great for this dish, but chicken is a lighter and equally tasty alternative.
- Experiment with fillings. Add olives, bell peppers or even mushrooms to vary the flavors.
- The rolls can also be cooked in the oven at 200°C for about 20-25 minutes if you don't have access to a grill.

Frequently asked questions:
- What other sauces can I use for stuffing?
You could try using pesto, tomato sauce or even feta cheese for a Mediterranean touch.

- How can I store the rolls to reheat later?
You can refrigerate the rolls in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or on the grill to restore their crispy texture.

Nutritional benefits:
These rolls are a good source of protein, thanks to the meat and cheese. The corn adds fiber and vitamins, and the mustard adds low-calorie flavor. Depending on the meat, the rolls can be tailored to suit different diets, whether you want to make them lighter or more nutrient-dense.

Vegetarian option:
If you want to make a vegetarian version, replace the meat with slices of eggplant or zucchini, which you can top with feta cheese, olives and herbs.

Don't forget to enjoy the final dish! These grilled rolls are perfect for a family evening or a party with friends. Enjoy!
