Method

  1. Cut the meat, ham and bacon into thin slices, each one slightly smaller than the previous, so you can roll them without difficulty.
  2. Cut the carrots into rectangular pieces and blanch them for a short time in water with a little sugar. They will be the center of the roll.
  3. Place the slice of meat, on top the ham, then the bacon and a piece of carrot; roll the whole thing and tie it with string or secure it with a toothpick.
  4. Heat the oil in a frying pan over high heat and brown the rolls on all sides.
  5. Add the chopped onions, garlic, tomato puree, dry wine, pepper and salt.
  6. Cook over low heat until the meat is tender and the sauce thickens.
