Question

I just bought Rouladen at the market, now how do I cook it and does it need any herbs and spices?

Answer 1

you spread them out lenghth wise then you salt&pepper them,

spread musturd and ketchup on them.chop an onnion but some on it and cut some bacon in small strips but it on and then roll them up.and close the endings with tooth picks.

first i brown them in a skillet,when they browned i put them in a fire save dish,i boil some water put some beef bullion powder in it.and i give that to the rouladen to cover them half with the bullion,then i put them in the oven on 300 for like 2,5-3 hours.with the bullion they stay juciy.with the rest of liquid you can make a gravy after the rouladen are done.make noodles with it.

they are sooo good my husband loves em.

Answer 2

You saute it in a skillet.  No herbs or spices, but normally there is a gravy involved.  After they are cooked through, make a gravy with what's left in the pan.  Do you have anything to pair it with?  Potatoes are pretty normal, but the German Egg noodles (spatzel) are really good with them as well.  Good luck, that stuff is soo good and I miss it now that I'm in the states.

Answer 3

The spices are salt, pepper and mustard. (Northern German mustard, the yellow one - not the sweet brown Bavarian mustard you eat with Weisswurst.)

Inside the roll go onions, bacon and a quarter of a pickled cucumber (also called cornichons). My granny on my father's side used a piece of bacon the size of a finger, my other gran uses a thin slice of bacon that she glues to the beef with mustard before rolling in the chopped onion and the cucumber.

You need to keep the Rouladen together either with wooden toothpicks or with special Rouladen-rings. In a pinch you can also use cotton yarn, but that is a hassle to get off the Rouladen again when they are cooked.

Brown the rolls in oil, then add water and simmer them until they are soft. (I like to use the pressure cooker for this.) When done make gravy out of the broth.

Serve with potatoes and veggies. Most people eat red cabbage (Blaukraut, Apfelrotkohl) with it. But Brussel's sprouts or green beens (haricots) will also work well.
