Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 pork roulades
  • 3 tbsp spice mix (gyro spice)
  • olive oil
  • 1 m.-sized onion(s)
  • 1 red bell pepper(s)
  • 150 g feta cheese
  • 300 ml cream
  • 2 tbsp processed cheese
  • 1 shot of Metaxa
  • Vegetable broth, optional

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Make a marinade with the gyro seasoning and olive oil. Brush the roulades with it and let them rest for half an hour. Peel the onion and dice it into small cubes. Wash the bell peppers and also dice them into small cubes. Dice the feta cheese. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until translucent. Cover the roulades with the onion and bell pepper mixture and the feta cubes, then roll them up and secure them with roulade pins or roulade clamps. Heat olive oil in a large pot and sear the roulades until well-seared. Deglaze with a generous splash of Metaxa. Add cream and processed cheese; if you like, you can also add a splash of vegetable stock. Simmer over low heat for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the roulades. This goes very well with the Greek rice noodles kritharaki and a salad.
