Rolet goosht was the first food I ate at my mother Low’s house. A pristine and perfect dish for those who love minced meat like me. I had eaten meat rolls before, but the night’s food was something else.
A combination of minced meat with different spices and vegetables cooked in a special sauce. This roll is served with Iranian rice and Shirazi salad, which is excellent.
I had a good memory of the first day when I was my wife’s guest; it was the same great food. You must try this great dish once if you also love meat, kebabs, and meat dishes.
After a long time, I asked how to prepare meat rolls for my mother, and today I want to tell you, so stay with meals cook until the end of this article.
Preparation time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
| Minced meat | 1.1 pound |
| Boiled eggs | 4 to 5 |
| Barberry | as needed |
| Chopped walnuts | as needed |
| Fresh chopped parsley | as needed |
| Onion | 2 medium pieces |
| Liquid oil | as needed |
| Salt, turmeric, cinnamon, and pepper | as needed |
| Garlic powder | as needed |
| Thyme | as needed |
| Curry spices | as needed |
| Tomato paste | as needed |
Instruction :
1. At first, for preparing rolet goosht, wash, peel, and grate the onion. Take the juice of the onion and add the meat to it.
Then add the spices (turmeric, cinnamon, garlic powder, thyme, curry spice, salt, and pepper) and knead well until all ingredients are mixed together.
This part of kneading and resting the meat is important because it prevents it from loosening and cracking during frying.
2. After kneading the meat well, we cover the dish with cellophane, put it in the refrigerator, and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours until it hardens well.
3. Then, cook the eggs in a small container or pot. Then, wash the barberries, put them in a basket, and let them dry.
Chop the walnuts to the desired size. Then, wash the parsley, chop it to the desired size, and set aside.
4. After resting, we take the meat out of the refrigerator, put a sheet of greaseproof paper on the table, and spread the meat mixture on the paper so that it gets a rectangular shape and its diameter is approximately 2 cm.
5. Peel the boiled eggs and place them in the middle of the meat, one after the other. Then, add chopped walnuts, barberry, and parsley, put the meat on one side of the eggs, and roll it carefully.
With your fingers, seal the sides of the meat well. Eggs and other ingredients should be completely inside the meat and not have any holes.
6. Then we put the rolls in the refrigerator again and let them rest for 1 to 2 hours to harden well and not loosen during frying.
7. After resting, take the roll out of the refrigerator. Pour oil into a pan suitable for the roll and fry it. We lift the roll with paper, put it in a pan, and pull the paper from under it so it doesn’t get damaged.
8. After the rolls are fried, add some tomato paste, desired spices, and a little barberry to the pan where the rolls are inside, and after the tomato paste is fried a little, add some water, close the lid, and turn the heat down.
Let it cook on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, then we turn back the roll with a spatula and let it boil a few more times until the sauce thickens; then we take the rolls out of the pan.
9. Place the rolets properly in the dish, pour the sauce on the roll, decorate it with parsley, or cut the roll with a sharp knife and place it in the dish.
10. Then, we pour the sauce separately into the desired bowl and take it to the table. You must be careful when putting the roll in the dish so the stuck part is under it.
In any case, you can prepare these delicious rolls according to everyone’s taste.

FAQ
- Why does my meat roll crack during cooking?
Cracking usually happens due to two main factors: insufficient kneading or skipping the resting period. For a perfect texture, ensure the mixture is well-kneaded and let it firm up in the refrigerator before frying.
- Can I prepare this dish in a pan without an oven?
Absolutely. Simply add the prepared sauce to the pan, ensuring it covers all parts of the roll. Cover with a lid and let it simmer on a low flame for about 45 minutes to an hour until the meat is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- What can I use as a substitute for red meat?
If you prefer not to use beef or lamb, ground turkey is an excellent alternative that maintains a similar texture and absorbs flavors beautifully.
