How to make Sicilian rolls

Let's put thesultanas in a container with water to make it soften. We prepare the breading that will be the filling of the rolls: we toast the breadcrumbs for 1 minute and keep aside. In a pan we put 2 tablespoons of oil and a half white onion cut into cubes, we fry until golden brown.

Put the toasted breadcrumbs, the browned onion, i Pine nuts, soaked and squeezed sultanas, the Ragusa cheese grated (or other aged cheese), the parsley, salt, pepper and a generous spin of oil. We mix everything. The consistency must be moist (which can compact easily).

We beat the slices of meat to make them thinner, and cut them into 3 triangles. We make the slices with the breading and close them in rolls.We stick the rolls with a stick for skewers previously wet with water, for each skewer we put 3 rolls. We alternate the rolls with a bay leaf and a sheet of red onion. Continue like this until all the ingredients are used up.Grease the skewers with oil and then pass them in breadcrumbs (the same as the filling or plain)

In the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Your Sicilian meat rolls (Palermitani) are ready. Enjoy your meal!!
