Beef and Vegetable Cannelloni with Feta Recipe
Ingredients
- 5oo grams free-range beef mince
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 small brown onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- ½ small red capsicum, roughly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, roughly chopped
- 1 cup spinach or kale leaves
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
- Mixed Italian herbs
- Salt
- Pepper
- 100gm feta cheese, cut into small cubes
- 375 gm fresh lasagne sheets or cannelloni tubes.
- 1 jar passata sauce
- Grated cheese
How to Make
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced
- Brown the mince, garlic and onion in a frypan on high heat. Season with herbs, salt and pepper.
- Transfer the mince to a food processor with all vegetables. Process until roughly broken down. Be careful not to over-process as this will form a sauce!
- In a deep-sided baking dish, spread enough passata to evenly cover the base.
- Roll out the lasagne sheets and cut them in half so you have approx 15cm portions. Place 1/3 cup of the mixture along the length of each lasagne sheet (or spoon into cannelloni rolls) and sprinkle some feta before rolling up to form a tube.
- Lay tubes side by side in the dish. Spoon over extra tomato passata to coat and to avoid burning.
- Sprinkle with cheese, cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden. Serve with salad.
