   1 1/2 pounds        ground pork
   1                    onion -- minced

   1                    green bell pepper -- diced
   1                    egg
   2      tablespoons   tomato paste
   1      tablespoon    dried oregano
   1      tablespoon    dried basil
   1 1/2 teaspoons     salt
     1/2 pound         mozzarella cheese -- thinly sliced
     1/4 pound         salami -- thinly sliced
   3      tablespoons   grated Parmesan cheese
                        Fresh Tomato Sauce (see recipe) -- for accompaniment

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, onion, garlic, bell pepper, egg, tomato paste, oregano, basil, and salt.

2. Cut a piece of aluminum foil about 16 inches long. Pat ground meat mixture onto aluminum foil, covering foil (mixture will be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick). Place mozzarella on meat mixture to cover. Next, place salami over cheese, also to cover. Roll up ground meat mixture jelly-roll fashion, peeling mixture from foil as it is rolled.

3. Press ends together to seal in filling. Place ground meat roll on a baking sheet with sides and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until browned (35 minutes). Let rest 5 minutes before cutting. To serve, slice about 3/4 inch thick. Accompany with Fresh Tomato Sauce.
