Seafood Cannelloni Recipes

Ingredients :

2 tsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 medium onions, finely chopped

1/2 cup tomato paste

2 cups water

2 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp ground thyme

1 tsp ground basil

salt to taste - optional

200g white fish, cut into small chunks

150g shelled prawns, coarsely chopped

100g scallops, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs

2 tbsp chopped parsley

2 tbsp dry white wine

ground black pepper to taste

1 egg, lightly beaten

12 lightly cooked cannelloni shells (to make handling easier)

1/2 cup grated low fat block cheese

Method :

Heat oil in frying pan and sauté 1 clove garlic and 1 onion until tender. Add tomato paste, water, lemon juice, 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp basil and salt. Set aside. Combine remaining garlic, onion, thyme and basil with fish, prawns, scallops, breadcrumbs, parsley, wine, pepper and egg. Spoon fish mixture into cannelloni shells, and arrange in a shallow casserole. Pour tomato mixture over cannelloni shells and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 30 minutes until sauce is hot and bubbling.

This is a recipe for special occasions. For a family meal, you may like to omit scallops and prawns and replace them with 500g of minced white fish.
