A roll in a husk is a tasty and filling dish. This boiled roll is great for breakfast. It can be cut into thin slices for sandwiches. Also, pork in onion skins looks good on a festive table as an appetizer, since when sliced it looks very appetizing. And the husk gives the roll a beautiful golden hue. You can add spices and mustard to taste, making the roll more or less spicy.

How to cook Roll in onion skins

Step 1

Start cooking. Cut a piece of pork belly across, as if cutting off one layer, but do not cut all the way through. In a deep bowl, mix salt, pepper, spices and dry mustard. Coat the entire piece of meat with this mixture.

Step 2

Roll up the roll. Roll it up so that the skin is on top. Tie it tightly with a thread. Put some onion peels on the bottom of the pan, put the roll on top. Put the remaining peels and bay leaf on top of the roll. Pour water so that it completely covers the roll. Cook on medium heat for 2-2.5 hours after boiling. Remove the roll from the pan and cool. Put it in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours.

Roll in onion skins - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat instead of pork belly for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute pork belly with beef brisket or lamb shoulder for a different flavor. Just ensure the cut has enough fat to stay moist during cooking.

How long can I store the cooked roll in the refrigerator?

The cooked roll can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days when wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

For a vegetarian version, replace the pork belly with a firm meat substitute like seitan or a large portobello mushroom, though cooking times may vary.

What’s the best way to reheat the roll without drying it out?

Reheat slices of the roll gently in a covered pan with a splash of water or broth over low heat to keep it moist, or microwave with a damp paper towel.

Can I freeze the cooked roll for later use?

Yes, the cooked roll can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in foil or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Is there a way to reduce the salt in this recipe?

You can reduce the salt by using a low-sodium seasoning mix or herbs like thyme and rosemary to enhance flavor without as much salt.

What sides pair well with this dish?

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Pickles or sauerkraut also complement the flavors well.

Can I skip the onion skins if I don’t have any?

Yes, you can omit the onion skins, but they add color and subtle flavor. A substitute is a teaspoon of onion powder in the seasoning, though the presentation will differ.
