Rolitos

Rolitos is a Gibraltarian meat specialty consisting of a mixture of finely chopped olives, boiled eggs, bacon or ham, vegetables, breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs, and spices that is wrapped tightly within a thin piece of beef. Once assembled, the beef rolls are typically braised with refrito (a combination of sautéed vegetables) and a splash of white wine until the meat is done. Pork or chicken can be used instead of beef, and the stuffed rolls can alternatively be fried or baked. Reflecting the Maltese influence on the cuisine of Gibraltar, rolitos is usually enjoyed with sides such as mashed potatoes, croquettes, or boiled rice, and it pairs perfectly with a glass of Manzanilla wine.
