Belly roll in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a belly roll in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients, the main one of which, of course, is the belly (in another way it is called podcherevok, peritoneum). Clean the meat, wash and dry with napkins. Peel the garlic from the husk.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add salt to the belly.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sprinkle the meat with freshly ground pepper or peppercorns ground in a mortar. This pepper is more fragrant than the usual ground pepper, which is already sold in powder.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sprinkle the belly with a mixture of peppers.

5. Step 5:

   

   Then sprinkle the meat with hops-suneli. The composition is written on my package: fenugreek, coriander, dill, celery, parsley, basil, savory, mint, bay leaf, marjoram, red pepper. As you can see, the composition of this seasoning is rich, and this will make our roll very fragrant!

6. Step 6:

   

   This is how the meat looks after sprinkling with spices. You can take other favorite spices - in this recipe it is not critical. I give the option that I like.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pass the garlic through the press. And rub your belly with it.

8. Step 8:

   

   Garlic in this recipe requires quite a lot, but you can adjust the amount to your liking.

9. Step 9:

   

   Make sure that your belly is rubbed with spices from all sides as shown in the photo.

11. Step 10:

    

    Twist the meat tightly into a roll and tie it with a thread. This is not the easiest job, so you can ask your husband for help. The Podcherevok is quite tight, it is not easy to roll it up. And then you need to hold it to wrap it with a thread.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the roll into the baking sleeve and put it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.

13. Step 12:

    

    The next day, take the roll out of the refrigerator. Pierce the sleeve in several places with a toothpick so that air escapes from it during the baking process and the roll does not break where you do not need it.

14. Step 13:

    

    Place the meatloaf on a baking sheet and put it in the oven at 180 degrees for about 1 hour, 1 hour and 30 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking according to your oven.

15. Step 14:

    

    After the specified time, remove the roll from the oven and wait until it cools down.

16. Step 15:

    

    Remove the cooled roll from the sleeve by cutting it.

17. Step 16:

    

    Now it's better to put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours, so it will taste better and it will be easier to cut into portions.

18. Step 17:

    

    Remove the roll from the refrigerator, free it from the threads and cut it. It is very tasty to serve it with the first courses, as well as with potatoes. For better digestion, it is better to eat it with mustard or horseradish.

    Bon appetit!
