How to Make Meat-Stuffed Cannelloni for a Hearty Shabbat Meal

This recipe offers a rich meat-stuffed cannelloni dish ideal for enhancing your Friday or weekend lunch. The filling combines 500 grams of ground beef, a large chopped onion, crushed garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, sweet paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. The sauce is made from 700 ml of tomato paste or crushed tomatoes, water, tomato paste, sugar, dried oregano, crushed garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

To prepare, sauté the onion in olive oil until golden, add garlic briefly, then cook the ground beef until browned. Stir in tomato paste and spices, simmer for five minutes, then mix in parsley and let cool. Simmer the sauce ingredients for 8-10 minutes. Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish, fill dry cannelloni tubes with the meat mixture using a spoon or piping bag, and arrange them in the dish. Cover with the remaining sauce, adding water if needed, cover with foil, and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the top.

This homemade cannelloni recipe promises a flavorful and satisfying meal for Shabbat or any special lunch gathering.
