8pork fillets, about 2cm (1 inch) thick
1largeglass of milk
8thin slices of serrano ham (dried ham)
100gramslard or butter
4tinned red pimentos, cut in half lengh-wis; e
1hard boiled egg, sliced
1beaten egg
dried bread crumbs
olive oil for frying

Directions

Start by slicing the fillets nearly all theway through the centre, opening them like a book, and leaving them to soak in the milk for 2 hours. Drain them well, season with salt and pepper (remembering that ham already is salty).

Now fill the fillets by placing in each first a slice of serrano ham, then a slice of pimento, a knob of lard or butter and a ring of hard boiled egg.

Roll up the fillets, securing them with a cocktail stick or thread.

Have the beaten egg ready in a shallow dish to dip the fillets into, and then roll them in the breadcrumbs in a separate dish. In a large frying pan, heat the oil and fry the fillet rolls until golden brown.

A bowl of hot tomato sauce goes well with this dish this is an andalusian dish
