Tomato cannelloni

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make tomato cannelloni with minced meat and vegetables? Prepare everything you need for the recipe. You can use chicken, beef, pork or mixed minced meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel onions, carrots, potatoes and wash together with tomatoes and herbs in cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Chop the onion as finely as possible. Grate the carrots on a fine grater. Place the minced meat in a deep container, add onions and carrots.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate the potatoes using a fine grater. Squeeze the juice from the potatoes and add to the bowl with the minced meat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the tomato into small cubes. You can first remove the skin from the tomato. To do this, pour boiling water over the tomato and leave for a minute or two. Next, drain the water, let the tomato cool slightly and easily remove the peel. Add tomato to minced meat. Mix everything thoroughly. Salt to taste and, if desired, add any dry spices that you use to prepare minced meat. I added dry garlic, a pinch of Provençal herbs and ground peppers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Let the minced meat stand for about 15 minutes so that all the spices are well and evenly mixed together. Next, fill the tubes with minced meat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the filled cannelloni in a single layer in a baking dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare the sauce. In a separate container, mix cream, water, tomato paste. Add flour and salt. Mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps. Thanks to flour, the sauce in the finished dish becomes velvety and very tender.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the sauce over the filled tubes until they are completely covered with liquid. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and place in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. I baked at 200 degrees in the “top-bottom” mode for 50 minutes. You are guided by the capabilities of your oven.

10. STEP 10

    

    Next, remove the lid (foil) and bake for another 10-15 minutes until an appetizing golden crust appears. Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs.

11. STEP 11

    

    Serve hot.

I cooked it for the first time. There is nothing complicated at all, very practical and tasty. For dinner, we ate it and it blew our minds 😂😂 it’s a bit reminiscent of the taste of lasagna, which mine also loves. The dish should be allowed to cool a little, then it will taste better, and on the second day after heating, you simply cannot resist the delicious smell. A pack of 250 grams was enough for dinner for four and there were still two servings left for two. Thank you for your site, a find for every day, just what I need.
