Equipment
- Pan
- Pot
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1.5 cups chunky tomato sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- thyme to taste
- 2 cups grated mozzarella
- 6 lasagna sheets
- flour for breading
- egg for breading
- breadcrumbs for breading
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a pan and add the garlic and onions.
- Once the garlic and onions are slightly sautéed, add the ground beef and cook until evenly browned. Drain any excess fluid and let cool.
- Place your pan back on the stove, and pour in the tomato sauce, along with the thyme, salt and pepper and mix well. Now add the grated mozzarella, and mix. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- In a separate pot, boil the lasagna sheets. Be careful that they do not get too soft.
- Cut the cooked lasagna sheets lengthwise into two halves. Add a small portion of the prepared meat sauce on the end of each sheet, and roll.
- The lasagna rolls should now be left to cool. Once they reach room temperature, place them in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Now it's time to bread the rolls: Place the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls. Dip each lasagna roll in the flour first, followed by the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
- Place the rolls in the freezer for a few more minutes, and then fry them in vegetable oil.
