Instructions

 

• Cook mince mixture first.
• Prepare all veg and keep separate.
• Cook onion and garlic until fragrant, stir in the mince and fry until browned.
• Add remaining veg by hardness, e.g. carrot or celery first (this lets them cook the longest).
• Add tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, and seasoning.
• Simmer on low heat until ready to use.
• Make cheese sauce next.
• Heat most of the milk until nearly boiling.
• Mix cornflour with remaining cold milk.
• Add mustard, salt and pepper to hot milk.
• Stir hot milk into cornflour and then return to pan.
• Heat to boiling, stirring all the time, cook for 1 minute, stirring.
• Add 2/3 cheese and stir in; set on the side whilst doing the next step.
• Make the pancakes next.
• Put flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre, add the egg, slowly stir in the egg, and gradually add the milk, stirring slowly, don’t worry if you get any lumps; keep stirring until they are gone. (Can be made with an electric mixer)
• Heat a frying pan with a small piece of lard or a drizzle of oil until just starting to smoke.
• Pour tablespoons of batter and quickly swirl around to cover the pan.
• Cook until opaque and dull, then turn over and cook another side.
• Remove from pan and maintain warmth; repeat until all done.
• Start to build your cannelloni by sharing the meat mixture out and rolling up the pancakes, place them in an ovenproof dish, side by side.
• Cover with cheese sauce and then sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• Brown the cannelloni under the grill or in the oven for 10 minutes until nicely browned.
