-
Beat the beef to 5 mm and season.
-
Fry the onion and mushrooms in the butter for 10 minutes until dry and golden. Cool and mix with the pickles and parsley.
-
Spread the filling over the beef, leaving a 2 cm border. Roll up tightly and tie with string.
-
Brown the rolls in the lard for 8 minutes. Add the stock, bay and dried mushrooms, cover and simmer for 60 minutes.
-
Lift out the rolls. Whisk the flour into the cream, stir into the gravy and simmer for 3 minutes.
Notes for Getting It Right
- Cook the filling until dry.
- Leave a border when filling.
- Simmer gently so the rolls stay whole.
Ingredient Swaps
- In a sauce, full-fat crème fraîche can usually take the place of the double cream; single cream is thinner and more likely to split if it boils, so keep it below a simmer.
Serving Suggestions
- Buckwheat
- Boiled potatoes
- Beetroot salad
