Lazanja od Palačinki

Ako vam se ikada desi da ostane nekoliko palačinki nakon doručka ili užine nemojte ih baciti! Jednostavno ih zamrznite, pa kad skupite desetak, imate savršen osnov za brz, ukusan i drugačiji ručak: lazanju od palačinki.

Možete je pripremiti sa mesnim filom, povrćem ili bogatim slojem sira baš onako kako vama najviše prija. Spoj poznatog ukusa palačinki i sočnih slojeva pretvara ovo jelo u pravi porodični favorit a priprema je jednostavna i zabavna.

Ovo je jedan od onih recepata koji, kad se jednom proba, odmah mora i da se zapiše. Toliko je praktičan a opet iznenađujuće ukusan, da se vrlo brzo od slučajnog „trika“ pretvori u jelo koje se redovno ponavlja u kuhinji. I svaki put donese istu onu radost prvog zalogaja.

Sastojci za mesni nadjev

• 3 kašike suncokretovog ulja

• 1 luk, iseckan na kockice

• 1 rendana mrkva

• 250 g mljevene svinjetine ili junetine

• 100 ml soka od paradajza

• 2 kašičice vegete

• 1/2 kašičice origana

Još potrebno

• 10 palačinki

• 100 g trapista ili mozzarelle, rendane

• 100 g salame ili šunke, seckane

• 3 kašike kečapa

• 100 g kajmaka

• salata, poslužiti

Nadjev

Na ulju propržiti luk par minuta, dodati rendanu mrkvu i pržiti na laganoj vatri oko 5 minuta. Dodati mljeveno meso, začine i sok od paradajza, pa dinstati oko 20ak minuta, dok nadjev lepo ne ukuva.

Slaganje

• U podmazanu vatrostalnu posudu (28 × 20 cm) redom slagati:

• 2 palačinke – pola nadjeva od mesom

• 2 palačinke – kajmak, šunka, trapist, kečap

• 2 palačinke – druga polovina nadjeva sa mesom (po želji malo sira preko mesa, lepo sve poveže)

• 2 palačinke – kajmak, šunka, trapist, kečap

• Završiti sa preostale 2 palačinke i posuti rendanim trapistom.

Pečenje

Peći u prethodno zagrejanoj rerni na 180°C (fan) oko 10–15 minuta, sve dok se sir ne otopi i sve dobije finu zapečenu koricu. Uživajte u ovom neobičnom ali savršenom spoju palačinki i lazanje!
