Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup minced onion
½ cup minced celery
⅓ cup minced carrot
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces ground veal
12 ounces ground pork
12 ounces lean ground beef
½ cup white wine
1 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley
4 cups tomato sauce
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 pound fresh pasta sheets

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet. Add onion, celery, and carrot, and cook over moderate heat until softened. Add the garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add veal, pork, and beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink. Add wine, and reduce for 1 minute. Stir in broth. Add herbs, bay leaf, and salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover, and reduce until almost dry. Discard bay leaf. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan set over moderately low heat. Whisk in flour for approximately 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, grated nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parsley and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

  • Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling down the center of one noodle, and roll the noodle to enclose the filing. Transfer the cannelloni, seam side down, to a well buttered gratin dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling, arranging in single layer. Ladle the tomato sauce over the cannelloni, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 10 minutes, or until bubbling. Run under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes, or until golden.

CHICKEN & PORK MOCK CANNELLONI



Chicken & Pork Mock Cannelloni image

I don't know what to tell you other than this is by far the best Cannelloni recipe I have ever made. I love the fact that you use egg roll wrappers for the pasta-I'm not a huge pasta fan, and it uses chicken and pork(I'm not a Veal fan). Excellent sauce and very cheesy! This is a versital recipe, you can use leftover turkey in place of the chicken, or leftover roast for beef cannelloni. I serve these with Classic Caesar Salad (43328) and hot garlic bread.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced onions
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

2 teaspoons dried basil
8 egg roll wraps
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 lb asiago cheese (mixed) or 1/2 lb provolone cheese, shredded (mixed)
1 tablespoon dried basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Filling.
  • In a medium heavy skillet over medium heat cook the onion and garlic in the extra virgin olive oil until translucent, about 7 minutes.
  • Do not brown.
  • While the onion mixture is cooking cut the chicken and pork into 1 inch cubes.
  • Add to onion mixture, stir frequently and cook until done, about 15 minutes.
  • Let the mixture cool for 15 minutes.
  • In a food processor combine the meat mixture with the ricotta cheese or cottage cheese.
  • Pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Add the parmesan, egg yolks, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Pulse to mix well-just don't turn it into paste, you want a little texture.
  • Sauce.
  • In a large saucepan over medium high heat combine the extra virgin olive oil and onion.
  • Saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the flour and stir well, allowing the mixture to just simmer.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in the milk and chicken broth.
  • Return to medium heat and reduce sauce to 1 and 1/3 cups, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Drain the tomatoes.
  • Add tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and basil to sauce mixture.
  • Stir well and set aside.
  • To assemble.
  • Lightly oil 2 9x13x2 inch casserole dishes.
  • Add 1/4 cup sauce to each casserole dish and lightly spread over bottom.
  • Lay out two egg roll wrappers.
  • Evenly place 6 tablespoons of meat mixture along the edge of each wrapper.
  • Roll each wrapper to enclose filling.
  • Repeat until all wrappers are used.
  • Place rolled cannelloni, seam side down into prepared casserole dishes.
  • Do not let the cannelloni touch each other.
  • Evenly cover the cannelloni with the cheeses.
  • Spoon the sauce around the cannelloni, dividing equally between the two casserole dishes.
  • Sprinkle basil over cannelloni.
  • At this point you can cover and refrigerate for 1 day.
  • Bake uncovered in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes, up to 20.
  • Use a wide spatula to transfer cannelloni to plates-I do them one at a time as they will fall apart if you are not careful.
  • Spoon sauce evenly between plates.
  • If you have leftover meat you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
  • For Electric Skillet-lightly oil your skillet, follow remaining directions, except reduce heat to 375 degrees, cooking for 20 minutes-do not cover unless your sauce is drying out.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces

2 red onions, each sliced into 3 thick slices
2 lemons, sliced in half
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped romaine lettuce, pita and tzatziki, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chicken and pork: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, oregano, salt, Aleppo pepper, black pepper and garlic.
  • Place the chicken and pork into 2 separate mixing bowls. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and the other half over the pork. Marinate, refrigerated, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • Remove the chicken and pork from the marinade, allowing excess to drain off. Keeping the chicken and pork on separate skewers, thread 4 pieces of meat onto each skewer towards the top and covering the tip of the skewer.
  • Place the skewers on the direct-heat side of the grill to char on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Then move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, cover with the lid and cook until the chicken and pork are cooked through, about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F and the pork reaches 145 degrees F. Stack the skewers on a platter.
  • For the onions and lemons: Drizzle the onions and lemons with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill. Cook the lemons until charred, about 3 minutes. Cook the onions until tender, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Add the onions and lemons to the platter with the souvlaki. Serve with romaine, pita and tzatziki.

TWICE AS GOOD BEEF & PORK CANNELLONI



Twice As Good Beef & Pork Cannelloni image

Two meats, two cheeses, and two sauces make this cannelloni doubly good. There's enough in this recipe for a couple of meals too, though I often double it to freeze. I guess it's a real theme with this recipe! In our house it is enjoyed by children and adults alike. You may want to add more pasta sauce, or vary the thickness of the cream sauce - up to your liking. If I can't get nice ground pork at the market, I'll substitute sausages, discarding the casing - a little more flavourful, a little higher fat. It's a real departure for me to not use basil and oregano, but I like the flavour just exactly as is.
