1 Green Chilly - finely chopped
5 Medium Tomatoes - blanched, skinned & finely chopped
2 Carrots - diced
1 Stick Celery - chopped
1½ Cup Red wine
1 Stick Celery - chopped
1½ Cup Red wine
1 Cup Green Peas - used frozen
Method
Hard boil the eggs and set aside. Once cooled chop them and the bacon.
In a bowl mix the eggs, bacon, garlic, parsley, red chilly flakes, salt to taste and breadcrumbs.
Flatten the steak with a meat tenderizer.
Place a tablespoon of the filling on one end of the steak.
Wrap your meat around the mixture by rolling the meat to make a wrap.
Fasten with toothpicks.
In a deep pan / kadai heat oil and add the bay leaves.
Over a medium heat lightly brown your bragoli and set aside.
In the same pan, add the onions, garlic and green chillies fry for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the carrots, celery and tomatoes and a cup of water cook for 5 minutes on low flame . Add the wine and place the browned bragoli on top and bring it to a boil. Simmer on medium low flame for an hour, keep stirring in between.
After an hour or so, if you find that the bragoli are nearly cooked, add the peas and cook till the peas and bragoli are full done.
After an hour and a half the bragoli is cooked.
Remove the toothpicks and bay leaves before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed french beans, or asparagus. I had this with steamed rice.
