Rouladen

The best roulade you will have ever tasted. I found this years ago in a Company's Coming recipe book and it is a hit. After simmering for the amount of time you can cut each one with a fork. A real crowd pleaser or make it just for the two of you. I have stuffed it with different pickled veggies such as beans, asparagus, carrots etc..use your imagination to change it up your way.....enjoy .
