Braġolun…Beef Roll by Sandra Hammett
Fry in some olive oil 4 beaten eggs, mixed with chopped basil or parsley, some grated parmesan and seasoning; this amount should yield two large omelettes. Overlap 4 large slices of beef to form one large square, place omelette on top of beef, then gammon slices, two sliced tomatoes, and one sliced herbed ġbejna (cheeselet). Form into a roll and tie up with a string. Two rolls should be enough to serve five or six persons. Heat a waterless pan well and brown each roll slightly; add a dash of soy sauce; then pour one glass white wine and one mugful of beef stock, plus two bay leaves and simmer for about 1.5 hours till liquid is absorbed by the rolls; add more water if necessary. Cool and then slice up and serve with plain boiled rice and a plain tomato sauce. Alternatively, it may be served cold as part of a buffet, with couscous and salads.
