I won the book called "Magus of Stonewylde" and she sent along this lovely herb book with it! Thanks so much Julie. I`m posting a few pages that can be clicked on to read...
I made some Spring Greens Cannelloni the other day and wanted to post the recipe because it is so easy to make. You use crepes rather than pasta. Because of this, it re-heats superbly for a lunch left-over. The only thing I would do differently is add a lot more spice and garlic because it seem a touch bland to me. Recipe will follow below.
First I made the crepes....
Chopped some green onions....
Mixed the cheese and spinach mix together....
Placed it on each crepe....
While the tomato sauce was simmering....
I rolled them up.....
Layed them in a dish and covered them with the sauce....
Viola! They stayed together really well and presented themselves great.
