Yield: 6 Servings

Make thin crepes from a light 1-2 egg pancake mix Daphne-Argentina

Filling: ˝ kilo of fresh spinach ( 2 00grs cottage cheese (or soft
-or -white
-other leave green veg.) -cheese)
I onion (chopped) salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste
I small red pepper cut into small 1 - 2 chopped hard boiled eggs
-pieces -(opcional)

1) Lightly fry the onion and the pepper
2) Wash the spinach or other greens and simmer in a pan with water barely covering the bottom, few a few minutes until soft and reduced. Strain and leave to cool, then chop on a board.
3) In a bowl, add the fried onion and pepper to the greens, season to taste, and add the cottage cheese. Mix well.
4) On each pancake place a 2cm thick strip of filling and roll up. Place side by side on a baking tray and cover with chosen sauce., and put in a hot oven until thoroughly warmed
(or microwave for three minutes).

Sauce one; tomato sauce.
Lightly fry a small onion with red pepper ( keep back some from the filling) add a packet or tin of tomato puree, or put seeded peeled tomatoes through a blender. Add a pinch each of chili powder, oregano and basil.

Sauce two; cheese sauce.
Melt 30 grs of butter or marg. In a small pan, and dissolve a tablespoon of corn starch into it stirring well. Add a cup of milk, return to the heat and stir until thicken, add 150 -200 grs. Soft cheese ( eg. Pizza cheese) and stir until melted. Pour over the cannelloni.


Note: Other things can be added to the filling, creamed corn, pumkin, grated carrot, chopped ham or chicken, and chopped mushrooms can be added to either of the sauces if liked

Makes about six Cannelloni.

I also like making spinach balls with the same mixture, placing a small cube of cheese in the middle, lightly roll in bread crumbs, and fry until golden brown. Serve with pastas or rice
