  • 6 leek(s)
  • 1 onion(s)
  • 500 g minced meat, mixed
  • 1 can of tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove(s), possibly more
  • some basil leaves, cut into strips

  • curry powder
  • 150 g crème fraîche
  • 100 g cheese, grated
  • Water (salt water)
  • Fat for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Clean the leek and cut it to the length of the cannelloni. Rinse it under running water. Simmer in lightly salted water for 2-3 minutes, then rinse it in cold water. Lightly salt and pepper the leek. Fill the cannelloni with the leek and place it in a greased baking dish. Now finely chop the onions and sauté them in olive oil, add the minced meat and brown them all over. Add the can of tomatoes and season well with the herbs and spices. Let it simmer for a short while. Pour the sauce over the cannelloni. Drizzle with crème fraîche and sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30-40 minutes. This also works without meat, of course. In this case, use two cans of chopped tomatoes.
