3. Add fried onions, two eggs, salt, pepper, starch and garlic to the minced meat. We mix. We add wine in which the prunes have been soaked.

   

4. Beat the minced meat with a blender until smooth.
5. Cut the prunes into small pieces. Chop the greens with a knife. We form a minced meat roll. To do this, put the minced meat on oiled parchment paper and level it in the form of a rectangle about 25×30 cm in size. Put the filling on top: prunes, nuts and herbs.
6. Helping ourselves with paper, we roll the stuffed meat into a roll.

8. We send the meatloaf to the oven, preheated to 220 degrees, for 15 minutes. Then we reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake the roll for about 1 hour. Cover the finished roll with foil and let it stand for 15-20 minutes.
