Cooking

Step 1

Wash beef, pat dry. Cut the meat and ham into medium-sized pieces, chop in a meat grinder. Peel and chop onion and garlic. Add sour cream, onion and garlic to minced meat. Salt, pepper to taste, mix.

* It is better to chop the onion by hand - the surface of the roll in this case will be more textured. You can also use a garlic press to crush the garlic.

Step 2

Peel carrots, wash celery. Cut carrots and celery into cubes, fry in hot vegetable oil for 4 minutes. Let cool, add to minced meat. Wash the mushrooms, cut into large pieces, put in a saucepan, pour milk, put on high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce fire. Stirring occasionally, boil the mushrooms until the liquid is almost completely evaporated. Transfer the mushrooms to the minced meat.

Step 3

Stir the mince thoroughly. Wet a linen towel or a large napkin, wring it out and put it on the table. Put the cooked minced meat on it, level the surface.

Step 4

Lifting the edge of the towel closest to you with both hands, roll the minced meat into a roll. Wrap it tightly with a towel, tie the side ends with twine or tie in a knot.

Step 5

Boil water in a saucepan, squeeze lemon juice into it. Put the roll wrapped in a towel in a saucepan and cook over low heat, under a loosely closed lid, for 2 hours.

* You can add bay leaves, a few peas of black and allspice or other spices to the water - to give the dish a more original taste.

Step 6

Remove the roll from the pan, let cool. Carefully remove the towel, put the roll on a dish. Cut into portions 1.5-2 cm thick. Serve with a green salad.
