Did you know that all meat rolls are national dishes of Germany and Austria? They are traditionally prepared for big holidays. For example, for Christmas or Easter. By the way, the fillings can be absolutely anything: from regular cheese to eggs and mushrooms.

How to cook Minced meat roll with mushrooms

Step 1

Make the base. Add the egg and spices to the minced meat. Mix well.

Step 2

Prepare the filling. Heat oil in a frying pan, add onion and carrot. Cook until onion is translucent. Then add mushrooms to the pan and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Form a roll. Spread the required amount of cling film on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the meat layer on it, no more than 1.5 cm thick.

Step 4

Place the filling on it, sprinkle with cheese and herbs. Carefully roll it up using film.

Step 5

Transfer it to a baking dish and place in the oven preheated to 180˚C for 30 minutes.

Minced meat roll with mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat for the minced meat roll?

Yes, you can substitute beef or pork mince with chicken, turkey, or even plant-based mince for a lighter or vegetarian option. Adjust cooking time slightly if using leaner meats to prevent drying out.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Replace the minced meat with lentils, mashed beans, or a meat substitute like textured vegetable protein (TVP). For binding, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg.

What mushrooms work best for the filling?

Button, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms are great choices. For richer flavor, try porcini or wild mushrooms, but ensure they’re cooked thoroughly to avoid chewiness.

Can I prepare the roll ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the roll, wrap tightly in cling film, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.

How do I store leftovers, and how long do they last?

Store cooled slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Can I freeze the minced meat roll?

Absolutely. Wrap the baked and cooled roll tightly in foil or freezer-safe wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

What side dishes pair well with this dish?

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. A tangy yogurt sauce or gravy complements the flavors nicely.

How can I prevent the roll from breaking when slicing?

Let the baked roll rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife and gentle sawing motion for clean cuts.

Can I make smaller, individual-sized rolls?

Yes! Divide the meat and filling into portions, shape into smaller rolls, and reduce baking time to 20-25 minutes for even cooking.

Is there a dairy-free alternative for the cheese?

Swap regular cheese with nutritional yeast, vegan cheese, or omit it entirely. Add extra herbs or sun-dried tomatoes for flavor instead.
