INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE MEAT:
- 1 kg lean ground beef
- Half cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp mustard
- Quarter cup chopped onion
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp paprika
- Half tsp black pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves

INGREDIENT NOTES:
LEAN GROUND BEEF:
- It makes the base of the meat roll and gives a rich savory taste in the recipe. Ground beef keeps the recipe light and produces a firm meat layer. Utilize ground chicken as a replacement.
WHOLE-WHEAT BREADCRUMBS:
- We use them to absorb the moisture from the meat. These breadcrumbs include more fiber in the recipe. Crushed whole-grain crackers are good to include as an alternative.
MUSTARD:
- It gives a light tangy taste to the meat mixture to make it delicious. You may use Dijon mustard as another choice.
REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA:
- This mozzarella gives a creamy, melted cheese center to the recipe. You may use reduced-fat Manchego-style cheese as a substitute.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, include baking paper on the tray and warm the oven to 180°C.
- Grate the washed carrot and squeeze out extra liquid properly.
- Chop the washed spinach and dry it well to remove extra moisture.
- Mix ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, black pepper, parsley, mustard, salt, and paprika in the large bowl.
- Put a sheet of baking paper on the flat surface and add the meat mixture on it.
- Press and shape the meat evenly into a rectangle about 1cm thick.
- Arrange the ham slices on the meat and leave a small border around the edges.
- Spread mozzarella on the ham and sprinkle grated carrot on the cheese.
- Include chopped spinach on the carrot and roll the meat gently from one side to the other.
- Seal the meat by pinching at the end and along the seam, then put it on the baking tray.
- Mix the tomato sauce and mustard in a small bowl, then spread the mixture on the top of the meat roll.
- Bake the meat roll for 55 minutes, then cool for ten minutes after removing from the oven.
- Lastly, slice the meat roll into 8 equal portions and serve warm.
