If you are looking for a quick and delicious recipe, this vegetable roll is the perfect choice! Combining juicy meat with aromatic vegetables, this dish is not only tasty but also healthy. Here’s how you can prepare it step by step.

Ingredients:

- 500 g pork neck, well beaten
- 300 g minced meat (pork or beef)
- 3 medium carrots, diced
- 2 zucchini, grated or cubed
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 3 tablespoons of mustard (preferably Dijon)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of herbs (e.g. rosemary or thyme)

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the vegetables. In a large bowl, mix the carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Add salt, pepper, and herbs, then mix well. This step is essential to ensure an even flavor of the vegetables.

2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, take the pork neck and generously coat it with Dijon mustard. This step will not only add flavor but also help tenderize the meat during baking.

3. Spread the minced meat evenly over the pork neck. Make sure it is completely covered so that each slice gets a generous portion of meat.

4. Place the vegetable mixture on top of the meat, spreading it evenly. This layer of vegetables will not only add flavor but also an attractive appearance to your roll.

5. Carefully roll the pork neck with the vegetable and meat filling, starting from one end. Make sure the roll is tight but not too tight, to allow for expansion during baking. You can use kitchen twine to tie the roll if necessary.

6. In a baking dish, add the olive oil and place the roll. Put the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, until the meat is tender and well cooked. If you want a crispier crust, you can turn the roll halfway through the baking time.

7. Once the roll is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial as it allows the juices in the meat to redistribute, resulting in a juicy roll.

Serving suggestion: Slice the roll into thick pieces and serve it alongside mashed potatoes or a fresh salad. You can drizzle each serving with a garlic yogurt sauce for an extra touch of freshness.

Possible variations: You can substitute pork with chicken or turkey for a lighter version. You can also experiment with the vegetables depending on the season or your preferences, adding spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor.

This vegetable roll is more than just a simple meal; it’s an explosion of flavors that will surely impress your family and friends. Enjoy every bite and let yourself be carried away by the taste of this dish!
