How To Make The Best Roladki Wieprzowe Easily

These Polish meat rolls are made by hammering pork till it’s flat. This meat is then slathered with a sauce or mustard.
Finally, bacon, carrot, and dill sticks are added. The pork is rolled up, coated with flour, and fried for a bit before simmering for a longer time.
Once ready the roladki wieprzowe are served with kluski slaskie, groats or other sides.
Sometimes they’re also called zrazy wieprzowe. They’re very similar to the roladki schabowe which are stuffed with cheese, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs.
