Crêpes ripiene di carne

Ingredienti

• pre-made Blini
• 1 lb (500g) ground beef
• 3 small onions (finely chopped)
• 1 cup thickened beef gravy
• black pepper
• 1/2 cup cooked rice (optional)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Prepare Blini according to instructions. Allow to cool.

2. 2

   Saute the onions until translucent. Add the ground beef and fry until cooked.

3. 3

   Prepare a cup of thickened beef gravy sauce and add it to the meat mixture. You can skip this non-traditional step and just season with salt and pepper, but this provides moisture and a richer flavor. Add black pepper to taste and allow to cool. Mix in the cooked rice.

4. 4

   Place one blinchik on the table and put about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture near the centre. It's like wrapping a burrito. Fold the bottom to cover the meat. Fold the sides in, and roll up like an eggroll or a burrito.

5. 5

   Place the rolled blini into a oven proof dish and pat some butter on top, so it will toast golden brown. Place into a preheated 350°F/180°C oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and fresh dill.
