• Cheese.
• 15 ml of mustard.
• Lemon juice.

If you want, you can add a little more thyme.
Carefully roll up the fillets and secure with a toothpick.
Preheat the oven to 200oC.
While the oven is heating, heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the rolls well.
Remove the chopsticks and put the rolls in a pan or container for the oven with a little oil. We keep the oil from the pan.
We bake for 10 -15 minutes.
Meanwhile, we put lemon juice, white wine, mustard and a little water in the pan that we have used to brown the rolls. We remove.
When the rolls are well baked, we put them back in the pan and stir well to mix with the sauce.

- Makis of Trevélez Cured ham and melon.
Ingredients (4 people):
• 4 slices of Jamón de Trevélez with no additives.
• 1 slice of melon.
• 1 cup of rice.
• 2 cups of cold water.
• Vinegar.
• Sugar.
• Salt.
preparation:
Wash the rice to remove the starch. Do it until the water looks clear.
We let the rice rest for about 15 minutes.
Once the time has passed, we put the rice in a pot with the 2 cups of cold water. We put the lid on and raise the heat to the maximum.
When it starts to boil, we lower the heat to a minimum and leave it for 20 minutes.
After this time, we let it rest for another 15 minutes.
We remove the rice from the pot and mix it well with vinegar, sugar and salt.
We let the rice cool down.
Stretch on a kitchen mat 2 slices of the Serrano ham from the Alpujarra of Granada, in such a way that they overlap each other.
We put a little rice and spread it over the slices without covering them whole.
We remove the peel from the melon slice, and cut it into strips.
We place two or three melon strips on the rice.
Carefully roll up the slices with the help of the kitchen mat.
We press so that it is well compact and the roll does not fall apart.
We remove the mat and cut into pieces.
The end parts can be removed so that all the pieces are equal.
Repeat the operation with the other two slices of 100% natural Organic Serrano ham.
Melon with ham, a traditional recipe of Spanish cuisine, with a bonus of creativity.

preparation:
We put the water, oil and yeast in a bowl. We stir well and let it rest for a while.
We add flour, salt and knead until the dough is not sticky.
Let it rest until it doubles in volume.
We crush and stretch the dough with a rolling pin.
We make discs with the mouth of a glass and place them on a baking tray. We leave them resting while we preheat the oven with the lower heat to 200oC.
Chop the onion and add it to a frying pan with hot oil. We add pepper and salt. When the onion is soft, we turn off the heat and let it cool down a bit.
On each dough disk, spread fig jam and a layer of onion on top.
