About Bragioli

Gululu’s Bragioli are traditional Maltese beef rolls filled with breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic and hard-boiled egg. This version selects Parmesan, with the recipe’s optional bacon and red wine retained as optional additions.

Beef and its broth bring savoury depth to a tomato sauce with onion, carrot, celery and bay. Garlic and parsley season the filling, while Parmesan adds a concentrated dairy note.

The rolled beef becomes tender during its long covered simmer. It may be presented whole or cut into rounds, showing the egg and seasoned filling within the meat.
