2012-10-06

Ingredients

For the béchamel sauce

  • 40g butter
  • 40g plain flour
  • 550ml milk
  • 1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard
  • Fresh seasoning

For the cannelloni

  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 400g peeled prawns
  • 150g crabmeat
  • ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Fresh seasoning
  • 8 fresh lasagne sheets
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
 

Method

To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan, then remove from the heat. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to make a smooth paste. Place the pan back on the heat and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Gradually add the milk about a tablespoonful at a time, stirring continuously to prevent lumps forming. When half the milk has been added and the mixture is smooth, add the remaining milk and stir to combine. Place back on the heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce comes to the boil. Add the Dijon mustard and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Next, heat the oil in a pan and quickly cook the prawns for a few minutes. Remove off the heat and place in a food processor, along with the crabmeat, chilli flakes and parsley. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add 3 tablespoons of the prepared béchamel sauce. Pulse together until combined, but still quite coarse. Place the lasagne sheets onto a clean work surface and divide the prawn mixture between the 6 sheets, placing it along the middle of each sheet. Roll up the sheets to make 6 stuffed cannelloni and place into an ovenproof gratin dish. Pour the remaining béchamel sauce over the stuffed cannelloni and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan cheese. Place in the oven to bake at 180`c for 15-20 minutes, or until golden-brown and bubbling.

Kannelloni tal-ħut

Ingredients

Għall-bexamella:
  • 40g butir;
  • 40g dqiq plain;
  • 550ml ħalib;
  • kuċċarina mburġata mustarda Dijon;
  • ħwawar friski
Għall-kannelloni:
  • kuċċarina żejt taż-żebbuġa extra virgin;
  • 400g gambli mqaxxra;
  • 150g laħam tal-granċ;
  • ¼ ta’ kuċċarina frak tal-filfel niexef;
  • mgħarfa tursin frisk, imqatta’; ħwawar friski;
  • 8 folji friski tal-lażanja;
  • 2 mgħaref ġobon Parmeġġan maħkuk

Method

Biex tagħmel il-bexamella, dewweb il-butir f’kazzola, imbagħad itfi n-nar. Żid id-dqiq u ħawwad b’mgħarfa tal-injam biex ikollok zalza kremuża. Erġa’ itfa’ l-kazzola fuq in-nar u ħawwad għal minuta jew tnejn, jew sakemm iz-zalza tibda tbaqbaq. Neħħiha minn fuq in-nar u ħalliha tiksaħ ftit. Imbagħad żid il-ħalib mgħarfa, mgħarfa u ibqa’ ħawwad biex ma jiffurmawx boċċi. Meta tkun tfajt nofs il-ħalib u t-taħlita tkun ratba, żid il-ħalib li jkun fadal u ħawwad biex jidħol fit-taħlita. Erġa’ itfa’ z-zalza fuq in-nar u ibqa’ ħawwad sakemm tiftaħ tagħli. Żid il-mustarda u ħalliha ttektek bil-mod għal 2-3 minuti, imbagħad ħawwar bil-melħ u l-bżar mitħunin friski. Saħħan iż-żejt f’taġen u sajjar il-gambli għal ftit minuti. Itfi n-nar u poġġi l-gambli f’food processor. Itfa’ wkoll il-laħam tal-granċ, il-frak tal-filfel u t-tursin. Ħawwar bil-melħ u l-bżar mitħun frisk u żid 3 mgħaref bexamella. Itħanhom flimkien iżda ħallihom f’biċċiet kbar. Poġġi l-folji tal-lażanja fuq wiċċ nadif u qassam it-taħlita tal-gambli fin-nofs ta’ kull folja. Rambalhom biex tifforma l-kannelloni u poġġihom f’dixx. Ferrex iz-zalza tal-bexamella li jkun fadal u l-ġobon maħkuk fil-wiċċ. Daħħalhom fil-forn f’temperatura ta’ 180oC għal 15-20 minuta, jew sakemm jiħmaru u jibdew ibaqbqu.
