Directions
- 1
Butterfly the shoulder open and season both sides generously with a mixture of minced garlic, parsley, olive oil and salt.
- 2
Layer the spinach leaves over the meat, then arrange the carrot sticks, sausage and green beans along the center.
- 3
Roll the meat tightly and tie it firmly with kitchen twine to hold the filling in place.
- 4
In the pressure cooker, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until golden. Sear the meat roll on all sides to develop a crust.
- 5
Add the diced tomato, pour in the water and tomato sauce. Adjust salt to taste.

Seal the pressure cooker and cook under pressure for about 40 minutes over medium heat.
- 7
Allow the pressure to release naturally, then slice the roll and drizzle generously with the cooking juices before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra depth of flavor, marinate the shoulder overnight with the garlic-herb mixture. Swap the sausage for smoked bacon or prosciutto for a more delicate filling.
