- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic

Instructions:
- Start by finely chopping the onion and sautéing it in a bit of olive oil until golden and soft.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with the sautéed onion, eggs, seasoning mix, chopped parsley, minced garlic, sweet paprika, and black pepper. Add salt to taste. Mix in the breadcrumbs until everything is evenly combined.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil on a flat surface, and spread the meat mixture evenly on top.

- Carefully roll up the meat mixture into a log shape, securing the filling inside. Place the roll in a baking dish, and drizzle a little olive oil over the top.

- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes or until the roll is cooked through and nicely browned.
