Roll them up, closing the rolls on the sides and then also at the ends with toothpicks 4. Sauté the finely chopped onion over low heat 5, then when it becomes transparent (after 10-15 minutes), add the rolls 6.
Make sure the rolls brown on both sides 7, then pour wine over them 8, spreading it well in the pan 9.
