Kalzha

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   The first thing to do is cook a piece of meat. According to the rules, its thickness should be 2 cm. There should be no films or fat on it. Let's remove everything unnecessary and even out the piece.

2. STEP 2

   

   To make the kalja juicier, let's beat the meat with a chopper. To prevent the pieces from flying around and making holes, cover them with cling film.

3. STEP 3

   

   When cooking for women in labor, meat, of course, is not anointed with spices. And in our version we will rub it with spices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Crush the garlic.

5. STEP 5

   

   And season the meat with garlic and sprinkle it with vinegar. Let it sit for an hour and a half.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then lightly salt and pepper the meat, grease the layer with a mixture of mayonnaise and adjika (or something tomato).

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the bell peppers into strips.

8. STEP 8

   

   Chop a small head of white onion into half rings.

9. STEP 9

   

   Chop the greens.

10. STEP 10

    

    Let's make a thin layer of greens on the meat.

11. STEP 11

    

    Closer to the edge we will begin to place pepper strips, onions and dried apricots (no need to cut them).

12. STEP 12

    

    Let's roll it all up and tie it with twine or thread so that the filling doesn't fall out during cooking.

13. STEP 13

    

    Heat a frying pan and fry the roll until done.

14. STEP 14

    

    Turn over regularly. Once you know the kalja is ready, remove the string and cut nicely.

The addition of mayonnaise is very confusing; it’s unlikely that it was in the original recipe.
