About this dish

Niños envueltos (lit. "wrapped up children") are a characteristic dish of the cuisine of Chile, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The dish consists of various thin slices of beef, which are wrapped with a filling (bread crumbs, cheese, etc.), kept closed with a toothpick and served with sauces (tomatoes, cream, etc.) Due to its creation in the kitchens of Middle Eastern immigrants to Argentina, it is considered to be a "commoner's dish" that allowed a meal including beef to those with limited access to it. Despite its appearance, the dish should not be confused with Golabki, a similar dish in Polish cuisine, which usually includes cabbage leaves and minced meat, although it can utilize grape leaves like Niños envueltos do. Another similar dish is the Ukrainian Holopchi, which wraps sausage and rice in cabbage.
