Do you need a quick yet delicious and flavorful menu? These Meat Rolls with Sausage Sauce are perfect for you. A classic dish, possibly a bit Sicilian, but something I cook often. As I say, a smart dish because we have a sauce for a first course and a meat second course with just one preparation . . . all that’s missing is the side. The filling for the rolls is very flavorful, with lard, cooked ham, fontina, raisins, and pine nuts making this meat very tasty and tender. Prepare the recipe following the procedure.

Steps
Use the meat tenderizer to pound the slices flat. Align them on the cutting board, rub them with the garlic clove, and salt them. Place a slice of lard, ham, fontina, raisins, and pine nuts on each. Roll up the slices and secure the rolls with kitchen twine or a toothpick. In a pot, sauté chopped onion, carrot, and celery in the olive oil.
Add the crumbled sausage, the rolls, and let them brown over high heat. Deglaze with red wine, salt, and add the tomato puree diluted with boiling water. Cover and cook for about 1 hour and 30 minutes on low heat. The sauce can be used to dress delicious pasta like penne rigate or shells, or another shape that holds sauce well.
