with dried plums, apricots, sun-dried tomatoes

ingredients for the recipe:

For the roll's base:

750 g ground pork

750 g ground beef

Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Fresh spearmint, finely chopped

Fresh oregano

60 g sesame seeds

2 eggs

1 clove of garlic, minced

Salt

Pepper

From the previous night, we prepare the base. Add as many herbs as you like, according to your preferences. We mix them well, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge

Execute recipe:

We take the ground pork and beef out of the fridge , add the pomegranate, stir and on a sheet of parchment paper start and spread it at least 5 cm away from the end of the parchment paper.

Start layering the ingredients with the ham slices covering each other a little and covering half of the minced meat. Continue with the bacon roll, which we add to the rest of the minced meat piece that does not have the smoked bacon. Then put the pepper cut into three small strips on top of the ham, continue with the apricot, plums, sun-dried tomatoes, sausages.

Add the gouda cut into three small strips over the pepper.

Cut the gruyere cheese into three small strips and add it next to the sausage

Start wrapping by pressing inwards and slowly unwrapping the parchment paper, close the edges as much as possible

Set aside. Line the bacon slices on parchment paper in such a way that all the parchment paper is covered except for the margin around

Carefully place the roll at the beginning of the parchment paper and unwrap the old parchment paper and try to wrap the new one with the bacon

When you reach the middle, remove the old parchment paper completely and continue wrapping, making sure that the two edges of the bakes touch each other

At the end, pass the excess piece of parchment paper underneath the other piece of parchment paper, press the edges

Set it aside and lay 3 sheets of aluminum foil that covers a little with each other, making a sheet a little longer than the roll

Place the roll on it and slowly wrap it, fold the edges upwards and find a baking pan almost wedged into the roll

Add the water and bake it for an hour and a half, wrapped in a medium oven, then take it out, carefully tear the aluminum foil and parchment paper on top and open it without removing them and continue baking until the bacon is golden brown

It is served with oven-baked potatoes
