Did you know that
To prepare this recipe, you can use other types of dehydrated fruit (eg dates) and mix (or replace) the walnuts with hazelnuts, almonds or other.- Distribute the chopped walnuts and a portion of dehydrated fruit over the entire surface of the meat, taking care to avoid the edges.
- Wrap the meat starting from the long side.
- Spread the slices of bacon on a sheet of cling film, overlapping them slightly on the long side to obtain a single layer.
- Gently slide the roll of meat over the bacon and wrap it until it is completely covered. To make the slices of bacon adhere to the roll, it is advisable to use the plastic wrap.
- To seal the bacon, we recommend using a kitchen cord or specific rubber bands.
- Heat a saucepan, about the size of the roll.
- When the pan is hot, brown the roll turning it on each side until a crust is formed. At this stage, there is no need to add oil or butter: the bacon is enough to obtain an excellent result.
- When, after 5-6 minutes, the roll appears golden brown, deglaze with the dry Marsala wine. Season with salt. Continue cooking by adding the remaining dehydrated fruit and sage. Cover with the lid and cook over very low heat for 60-90 minutes, until the roll is very soft. It is recommended to check the cooking of the roll often and, if the liquid were to dry out excessively, add a little hot water.
- Before turning off the heat, finish by adding a teaspoon of honey.
- When cooked, allow the roast to cool completely before cutting it into slices.
- Heat the slices of roast in a pan or in the oven, serving with the cooking sauce and, to taste, with a drop of balsamic vinegar glaze.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
A real chef's roast, homemade in just a few steps. The beauty of roasts is that they can be prepared in time, cut into slices calmly and, to serve, all we have to do is heat the slices we need during lunch or dinner! Mine is just an "idea, and of course you can fill the roll with any other type of dried fruit or filling! Happy Holidays!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
