“FILLOAS” STUFFED WITH OUR VEGETABLE GARDEN PRODUCTS

• “filloa” traditional Galician crêpe

Ingredients:

• For the “filloas”:

25 ml milk

60 grs flour

2 little eggs

30 grs butter

salt

• For the stuffing:

100 grs leek

100 grs cabbage

50 grs Italian green pepper

2 tomatoes

1 clove of garlic

100 ml tomato sauce

chopped parsley

salt and pepper (to taste)

How to make them:

Prepare the dough for the “filloas” mixing up the two eggs beaten with the flour, the salt and next the melted butter but not too hot. Add the milk little by little without stopping mixing up with a whisk.

Make the “filloas” on a pan, slightly greased with butter, on both sides (be careful not to burn your fingers!!!).

As they are ready, place them one over another on a dish, and cover them up with a slightly wet tissue until the serving time.

To make the stuffing, peel the tomato, previously dipped in boiling water (30’’). Chop them up and reserve.

In a frying pan with some olive oil, fry the pepper diced until tender. Next, add the leek and the cabbage. Cut in a very slice long strips (cut in julienne strips) about 15 minutes. When both become tender and transparent it’s time to mix with the tomato in concassé (small dice), the tomato sauce and, finally, sprinkle some chopped parsley.

How to serve: 

Make the sides of the “filloas” even, put two spoonfuls of stuffing, still hot, in the centre of each one. 

Close each one - caneloni shaped - and serve with some additional natural tomato sauce, seasoned to taste.
