12 dried plums (halved)
-
3 onions, sliced

3 pickles, sliced

3 tbsp mustard (dijon )

10 dried apricots or mixed dried fruit

2 carrots, thinly sliced
-
2 cups dry red wine

1 cup vegetable broth
-
2 tbsp molasses or honey
-
4 tbsp tomato paste
-
1 can chopped tomatoes
-
Dash thyme, finely chopped
-
Dash rosemary, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
Olive oil for browning
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch) + a bit of water
Instructions
-
Prepare vegetables and meat:
Scrub and slice the carrots thinly, chop onions and garlic, halve the plums and apricots.
Pat the beef dry with paper towels, lay flat, and brush each with mustard. -
Fill the rolls:
On each piece of beef, place 1 slice of bacon, a few onions, half a pickle, and a plum half.
Roll tightly, tucking in the sides, and secure with toothpicks or cooking twine. -
Sear the roulades:
Heat olive oil in a large casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Brown the rolls evenly on all sides. Remove and set aside. -
Make the sauce base:
In the same pot, sauté the remaining onions, carrots, apricots, plums, herbs, tomato paste, and garlic for 3–4 minutes.
Deglaze with half the red wine and add molasses (or honey). Let simmer briefly. -
Add liquids:
Add the canned tomatoes, remaining wine, and broth. Return the beef rolls to the pot.
Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes, then remove the lid and continue cooking another 45 minutes uncovered, to reduce the sauce. -
Thicken the sauce:
Mix cornflour with water and stir into the simmering sauce until thickened.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. -
Serve hot with Spaetzle, mashed potatoes, or baguette — and a good red wine.
