Do you want to prepare some unforgettable treat for your friends and family, but are you already tired of all the dishes? Then this recipe perfect for you, because the results are very unique pork rolls with nuts and prunes.
Good quality prunes have sweet and sour taste and a pleasant smoked aroma, and in combination with a small amount walnuts and the sweetish pork turns out very tasty. It takes no more time to prepare rolls than regular chops.
Ingredients
- pork 1 kg
- prunes 200 g
- walnuts 100 g
- egg 1 PC.
- breadcrumbs
- salt
- black pepper
- vegetable oil
From this amount of ingredients I get 7-8 rolls, which is enough for 4-5 servings. Meat for pork rolls It's better to take carbonate.
Preparation
We start by chopping the nuts. Usually a chopper is used for this, but if one is not available, the nuts can be chopped either with a knife or like this: put the nuts in a plastic bag and roll them with a rolling pin.
Wash and finely chop the prunes. if the prunes are very dry, then you should first soak them for a few minutes in hot water.
Mix nuts with prunes. In principle, you can already eat it, but don’t forget that we still make pork rolls.
We cut the pork into plates about 1 cm thick. In order for the meat to be cut better and more accurately, it needs to be frozen a little in the freezer.
We beat the meat on both sides through cling film. The area of the piece will increase and more nuts and prunes will fit there.
Place a filling of nuts and prunes on each piece of meat.
Then we roll the meat into a roll and secure it with a toothpick.
Beat the egg. Salt and pepper the beaten egg and dip our meat rolls in it.
After this, roll in breadcrumbs. And only now can we fry on a well-heated sunflower oil our rolls. Fry at slightly less than medium power. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the roll, it takes me about 30 minutes, periodically turning the rolls over to the uncooked side.
Ready! When serving, it is best to cut the rolls and serve them hot or warm. Rice is almost ideal as a side dish. Bon appetit!
I couldn’t resist and already ate one piece before the end of filming. I'll try to be more patient next time.
I discovered prunes in combination with meat and chicken not so long ago, but I appreciated them immediately. I often heard about pork rolls with prunes, but somehow never got around to it.
However, when I finally decided to cook them for the next holiday, the guests, without exception, appreciated them. Indeed, they looked very beautiful, and the taste did not disappoint.
I have three proven options for preparing such rolls, but today I will share the most elegant one.
You will need:
For the pork rolls:
- 500 grams of pork neck,
- 300 grams of pitted prunes,
- 300 grams of cheese (any kind is possible),
- salt, pepper to taste;
For the sauce:
- two glasses of water,
- two tablespoons of honey,
- four tablespoons of mayonnaise,
- one tablespoon of mustard,
- 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
I make these rolls only from pork neck.
I'm preparing the meat. I cut across the grain into equal pieces:
I beat it, after covering it with cling film:
Salt and pepper and leave to soak for about forty minutes.
At this time I am making the filling.
I fill the prunes with warm water:
After about twenty minutes, I rinse it and put it in a colander.
When excess water drains, cut it into small strips. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater:
I combine exactly half of the cheese with prunes, leaving the rest for later. The filling is ready:
The meat has just marinated, so I’m starting to create our rolls. I put the filling on the edge of the piece:
And I wrap the meat in a tube:
I don’t hold the roll together with anything, because I’ll bake it in the oven, and then it won’t unfold!
I grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place our finished rolls on it. I add a little salt on top.
I turn on the oven to the highest heat to warm it up and make the sauce myself.
I dilute two tablespoons of honey in two glasses of water until completely dissolved:
And I fill our rolls with this:
I put the baking sheet in the oven at 200 degrees for about half an hour. During this time, the water should be half evaporated, and the rolls should be half cooked.
In the meantime, I mix mayonnaise with mustard until smooth:
I take the baking sheet out of the oven and grease the rolls with the resulting mixture:
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph this stage, but you can easily imagine this process.
And this is what the rolls turned out to be about fifteen minutes after that. Really beautiful?!
All that remains is to place them on a dish and decorate them with something:
You can pour the sauce in which they were baked on top, although they are already very juicy.
When my youngest daughter saw them for the first time (and she is very reserved when it comes to new dishes), she exclaimed: “You just can’t help but try them!”
And pork rolls with prunes became a pleasant exception from the rules - she fell in love with them at first sight, and children are never wrong!

Chicken rolls with prunes
Today on my agenda is a dish of chicken fillet. This product is suitable for so many recipes, both holiday and everyday. You can prepare a variety of soups, salads, rolls and much more. And the combination of chicken with prunes, nuts and other fruits is simply divine. I want to offer you chicken rolls with prunes. This recipe does not require any special culinary skills or a lot of time, and the resulting taste will pleasantly surprise you.
Ingredients:
- chicken fillet – 500-600 g
- prunes – 15 pieces
- walnuts – 50 g
- sour cream – 50 g
- mustard beans – 1-2 tsp.
- butter – 50 g
- soy sauce – 2 tbsp.
- vegetable oil - for frying
- salt, pepper - to taste
Cooking method:
- Wash the chicken fillet and dry it with a paper towel. Cut into pieces so that you can beat them off.
- There is no need to make the chops too small, because... It will be problematic to wrap the filling later. Cover the pieces with cling film and beat them to a thickness of 2-3 mm.
- Steam the prunes in boiling water until they become soft. If there are seeds, remove them. Cut into small strips.
- We cut the walnuts into pieces the size of a small pea or crush them just a little in a mortar.
- Mix sour cream with mustard. Coat chicken chops with the resulting mixture of sour cream and mustard, add salt and pepper.
- Place some prunes on the edge of the chop.
- Place a layer of walnuts on top of the prunes. The layers should be such that it is convenient to wrap the roll and it does not fall apart in your pan.
- Carefully wrap all the rolls and send them to the frying pan to fry on vegetable oil until golden brown.
- Carefully secure all rolls with toothpicks or thread. I didn’t fasten some of the rolls because... It seemed to me that they were securely folded. But during the frying process they began to unfold. So keep all the rolls together.
- After frying, place the rolls in a baking dish, add a little water, butter and soy sauce.
- Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees.
- Serve rolls with salad fresh vegetables, greens. I made it yesterday with buckwheat porridge, I liked the combination.
Ingredients:
- chicken fillet – 500-600 g
- prunes
- black pepper, salt - to taste
Cooking method:
- You can prepare a wide variety of dishes from chicken fillet: gravy, goulash, chop, schnitzel. You can bake chicken fillet in the oven, you can fry it or stew it. Sirloin has proven itself well in a roll and as a cold appetizer.
- This dish can easily replace the usual sausage. Chicken fillet roll can be prepared with the most various fillings– mushrooms, cheese, minced meat, dried apricots. Today I offer a recipe for chicken fillet roll with prunes. This dish will have a somewhat savory taste, thanks to the combination of meat and sweet ingredients.
- For one roll we need one medium or large sized chicken fillet. Small fillets can be used to make small portioned rolls. Cut the pre-washed meat in thickness, but not completely, and unfold it like a book.
- We will place a layer of fillet between two layers of a baking sleeve: this way it will be more convenient for us to work with it. But we will not leave the sleeve intact, but cut it. Pound the fillet on both sides directly through the film. During the beating process, we try to give the layer the most rectangular shape possible, to stretch the fillet so that it is thin, but not “torn.”
- Now lift the film on one side, salt and pepper the fillet, and sprinkle with meat seasonings. Cover it again with film, turn it over, open the other side and do the same. If there was no film, then we would not be able to pick up the thin fillet with our hands and turn it over, but this way we can easily cope with this task.
- Let's leave the fillet layer for 20 minutes to soak in the seasonings, and during this time we'll prepare the filling. Grate the cheese.
- The amount of cheese can be increased; it will help us glue the roll together. If you take more cheese, you will get a beautiful layer of yellow color, if as in this recipe, then its taste will not dominate. In short, any option is acceptable, including the one you come up with yourself.
- Place the grated cheese on the layer of meat. Place prunes on the edge of the roll. Let's twist the roll, pressing the turns as tightly as possible.
- Sprinkle the finished fillet sausage with vegetable oil, wrap it tightly in the baking sleeve we used, and bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.
- Unroll the roll only when it has cooled down. Cut with a sharp knife and serve as cold snack, including on sandwiches.

Steamed chicken roll with prunes
The main charm of this roll is that the filling in it can be anything: vegetable, mushroom, or, as here, fruit. Chicken meat generally goes well with sweet fruits - for example, pears or apricots, which are best taken dried rather than fresh to enhance the taste. And to balance the sweetness, you can add more of your favorite spices.

- Tangerines 3 pieces
- Crushed walnuts 100 g
- Pitted prunes 7 pieces

- Spices to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Cooking method:
- Remove the seeds from the prunes, pour boiling water over them and leave for an hour and a half so that they are well soaked. Thoroughly peel and remove tangerines and divide them into slices. prepare citrus fruits
- Cut the chicken fillet lengthwise into two parts. Place the resulting pieces overlapping on a cutting board covered with cling film and beat them well, especially in the places where the pieces join. Lightly salt and pepper the meat.
- Chop the walnuts with a sharp knife or grind in a blender. Sprinkle half of the resulting nut crumbs evenly over the pounded and seasoned meat.
- Place prunes on top of the nuts (you can chop them if desired, or you can leave them as is, so that whole fruits are visible on the cut of the roll), and tangerine slices on top of the prunes. Sprinkle the remaining nuts on top.
- Gently roll the stuffed chicken fillet into a tight and even roll. Tighten the ends of the film tightly on the sides so that it does not unravel under the influence of steam.
- Transfer the roll to a steamer or place it in a wide colander set over a pan of water simmering over moderate heat. Cover with a tight lid and cook for thirty-five -
- Remove the finished roll from the steamer or colander and cool completely. Then carefully unroll the film and place the roll on a cutting board. Cut with a sharp knife into slices 1-1.5 cm thick.
- Place the roll slices on a plate, cut side up. Before serving, you can reheat them again if desired, or you can leave them chilled - in this state the fruits become even tastier.

- Salt the chopped meat and sprinkle freshly ground pepper according to your taste. Transfer to a suitable container, pour in kefir, squeeze the garlic through a press, stir and set to marinate.
- The marinating time is at least 20 minutes, but if you are not in a hurry, it is better to leave it for 6-8 hours. I was in no hurry and left the meat in the refrigerator all night. The rolls turned out tender and juicy.
- Pour dried apricots and prunes into a deep bowl and pour boiling water over them, set aside to swell for 15-20 minutes. Drain the water, place the fruit on napkins and dry a little.

- Now all this beauty needs to be carefully rolled up and tied in several places with food thread.

Chicken roll with prunes and nuts
Chicken roll - we prepare it as an alternative to the store-bought versions, but richer, as “for ourselves”, and of course for the holiday, to serve at beautiful cutting and enjoy the praise you deserve.
Chicken rolls are prepared in many different ways. They are prepared from a whole chicken carcass, freeing it from the bone frame, from a mass of pulp, made up of layers of chicken fillet (breasts), sometimes from minced chicken, forming it in a layer on cling film or spread out chicken skin.
Ingredients:
- chicken – 1 carcass
- prunes – 10-12 pcs.
- walnuts – 5-6 pcs
- salt, ground black pepper
- carrots, onions, parsley roots or stems - for cooking the roll
- mayonnaise or butter - a little, for coating the roll
Cooking method:
- We push the fillets apart with our hands, and we immediately clearly see the bone frame of the chicken, which we will carefully remove, trying not to damage the skin. Read more:
- The skin is especially tightly attached to the bones by tendons on the back and in the tail area - here you have to work with a sharp knife, pointing it at an angle towards the bone (away from the skin) so as not to cut through the skin.
- If one or two small cuts happen, it’s not a big deal, more on that below. In other places, the skin with layers of pulp attached to it can be easily removed.
- Where it works, separate the flesh from the ridge with your hands; where it doesn’t work, trim the tendons with a knife. Don't be afraid - "stripping" a chicken is actually not very difficult, and it won't tear even if you turn it inside out, as long as it's convenient for you to remove the bones.
- The wings and legs are attached to the chicken frame at the joints, which, when you get to them, also need to be freed from the bones.
- We cut off the outer phalanx of the wings, trim the skin around the bone on the legs below, and break the wings and legs themselves (as when we tear off the leg of a fried chicken), turn the carcasses inside out, cut the flesh down to the bone on one side and release the bone.
- In the neck area, we cut out or tear out the thymus bone and other bones, which we palpate in the pulp. We save the skin of the neck; we will need it for wrapping the end of the roll. One way or another, you will cope with this, don’t worry, and we will “patch up” any gaps that arise along the way by placing pieces of fillet pulp on them.
- Place the unwrapped and deboned chicken, skin side down, on a tray or dish, straighten the flesh, check the condition of the layer and the uniform distribution of the meat on the skin.
- Those places where there is almost no pulp, and skin cuts, if they occur, are covered with pieces of adjacent meat fibers or layers of fillet, which we cut off from their thickened parts. As a result, the layer of pulp becomes almost uniform in thickness.
- For even greater uniformity and cohesion of the pulp, lightly beat it, especially in areas where the thickness of the pulp is greater and where layers of pulp that are not attached to the skin are added, as well as darker and tougher flesh of the legs.
- If possible, beat the pulp thinner from the sides and from the edge of the layer that will be on top when rolling the roll. To avoid splashes, cover our layer on top with a piece of cling film.
- After beating, remove the film and throw it away. Salt and pepper the pulp to taste.
- Then it’s quite easy. We wash the pitted prunes and place them in a “path” along the longer side of the layer closer to the edge from which you plan to start rolling the roll - so that the filling is in the center. If desired, add another layer of chopped nuts next to the prune path.
- Roll the roll tightly. We turn the ends of the layer inward, as when forming pancakes or cabbage rolls. The seam on the roll can be securely secured with toothpicks or simply unfolded with the seam down.
- We place the roll in a bag or baking sleeve and decide whether we will boil or bake it. If you bake, grease the surface of the roll with mayonnaise, or sour cream mixed with mustard, or mustard with honey, or just fat - so that a beautiful crispy crust forms on the roll.
- Place the roll in the bag in a casserole dish (its shape is better suited :-)) or other cooking utensils, fill with hot water so that the roll is completely covered, cover with a lid, and over medium heat
- At the end of cooking, taking out the bag, we see that a concentrated broth has formed in it from the chicken’s own juices, in which lies compacted to the right consistency roll and float boiled vegetables and greens, which gave their aromas to our roll.
- You can let the roll cool in the bag, or carefully cut the bag, drain off the broth (you can use it to make soup or sauce), transfer the roll to a plate and let it cool completely.
- Coat the cooled roll with mayonnaise (you can use butter, honey with mustard or another composition suitable for chicken, to which the nuts will stick) and sprinkle with toasted ground nuts for beauty.
- The roll is beautiful, tasty, juicy, and cuts well. It will be nice to see and eat it at the festive table.
- In fact, you can cook the roll traditional way- in water, trying not to boil it too much and lose its taste.
- We select a container so that you don’t have to pour too much water into it to cook the roll. With this method of cooking, vegetables and herbs should also be added, and to prevent the roll from unfolding, it is practiced to tie it with gauze.
- In addition to prunes, mushrooms, cheese, eggs, etc. can be used as a filling for chicken rolls after appropriate preparation. Bell pepper, carrots, other vegetables, olives, greens, spinach, smoked meats, etc., their combinations with each other or minced meat with their participation.
- You can simply roll the roll without filling ingredients, generously sprinkling it with bright spices.
- You can completely cover the beaten layer of chicken pulp with liver or other minced meat of pate consistency - the minced meat will be visible in the cut of the roll as a spiral. Try it different variants– it’s interesting and tasty.
1. Wash the meat, dry it with a paper towel, cut it lengthwise and open it like a book. If there is a lot of excess fat and film, cut them off. Beat the layer of meat on both sides with a kitchen hammer, add salt and pepper, and brush one side with mustard. If pork is too fatty for you, use veal, beef or chicken instead.
2. Peel the garlic, cut into small pieces or pass through a press. Wash the prunes and cut into pieces. If the berries have seeds, remove them first. Steam very dry prunes with boiling water for 10 minutes to steam them.
Place pieces of prunes and chopped garlic on the layer of meat.
3. Carefully roll the meat into a roll and tie the roll with twine or ordinary culinary thread to give the product a neat shape.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan with vegetable oil and place the roll. Over medium heat, fry the roll on all sides.
5. Then cover the pan with food foil and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. If the frying pan is not suitable for the oven, then transfer the meat to a heat-resistant form.
Serve the rolls hot with any side dish. However, after cooling, they can be served as a cold appetizer in the form of cold cuts.
