Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef (the leaner the better)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 pinches nutmeg
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 egg
  • 4 slices bacon, cut up into small pieces (optional)
  • salt and pepper
  • Filling
  • 2 carrots, shredded (optional)
  • 1 pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 2 -3 hard-boiled eggs (optional)

Method

  • Mix all of the ingredients except the optional ones in a bowl and mix well.
  • On a sheet of aluminum foil, spread out the meat mixture (you're going to roll it in a second).
  • Lay out in the middle your shredded carrots, peppers, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • Roll the meat up, joining the ends and the seam so it looks like a log. The foil will help you. Use the foil to keep it closed for cooking.
  • Cook at 350 for 45 mins to an hour. At 40 mins, open the foil a bit to check.
