Quick rolls


This is another favorite recipe of mine. Here is what you´ll need: a bag of spring roll pastry dough - usually for sale in Asian food stores. When you open the pastry, make sure to cover it with a damp cloth or else the pastry pieces will dry out and crumble as you work.

Filling: you´ll also need some minced meat; lamb and cow, not to lean. In addition, chop some onions, green peppers, hot peppers, corn, peas...whatever you want to use with the meat.

Fry everything on a saucepan and leave to cool off (otherwise pastry might soak thru and rip!)

Put some of the filling on the pastry piece - not too much, though, and roll/wrap it tightly up, covering the middle center with the edges. You might also wanna brush the edges with some flour dissolved in water for the pastry piece to stick better and keep the roll closed at all times.

Fry the rolls in hot oil; they need about 4-5 minutes at moderate heat. Once light brown, take them out of the oil and let them drip of the oil on some paper towel.

Serve the rolls together with lotsa green salad to balance the fried oil! You can fill those rolls with anything; not just meat - try white cheese or spinach or chicken or shrimps and chili....or fill the rolls with sugar, chopped nuts and almonds and pour atr (syrup) over them as sweets.

Wow! 4-5 minutes in all that oil? Isn't that too oily though? I always use just a little oil (or butter) in a frying pan and fry them 'til they're brown and crisp rather than deep-frying them in lots of oil.
Considering that what's yummy is usually bad for you, this must also explain why the deep-fried ones taste yummier!! LoOoL! :D
