Ingredients
- 1/2 pound (12 large sheets) phyllo pastry
- 3/4 pound bulk sausage
- 3/4 pound ground beef
- 1-1/2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, mashed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 egg
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Method
Step 1
Thaw phyllo according to package instructions. In a bowl mix egg, ricotta and Parmesan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2
Brown sausage for 10 minutes, breaking up pieces with a wooden spoon. Stir in beef and cook 5 minutes more until no longer pink. Drain fat from pan. Add onion and garlic. Cook until soft. Add spices and tomato paste. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove meat mixture to a bowl. Cool. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 3
Combine chilled cheese and chilled meat mixtures. On foil, form into a roll, 9-in long and 2-in high. Refrigerate while preparing phyllo.
Step 4
Brush 12 sheets of phyllo with butter and stack. Place meat roll along short edge. Roll up, jellyroll style, tucking in ends and brushing with butter after each turn. Place a piece of foil over ends of rolls. Secure with toothpicks so filling will not come out.
Step 5
Place seam side down on a jelly roll pan. Refrigerate until time to bake.
Step 6
Bake at 400° for 35 minutes until golden. Remove from pan. Phyllo can be decorated with loose phyllo leaves 10 minutes before end of baking time.
Step 7
Let stand on a wire rack about 30 minutes. Serve warm but not hot.
The original recipe calls for large phyllo sheets but I usually buy the smaller ones and make 2 rolls. Either way it’s a 1/2 lb. of dough
May be frozen before baking. Defrost overnight in fridge and bake according to regular directions.
