Beef rolls with bacon

6 servings

70 minutes

A hearty Latvian dish and one of the variations on the Karlovy Vary roll, a traditional Czech snack. In the classic recipe, bacon, omelette and pickles are wrapped in a roll of thinly sliced meat and served with potatoes. This option contains fewer ingredients, but not calories, so it is best to choose a accompaniment that is not too heavy: a green or any vegetable salad will definitely not overload the dish, only its appearance and your taste buds.
