Meat pancakes are a versatile dish, perfect for a quick lunch or a savory dinner. These stuffed pancakes are rich in flavors and can be adapted according to your preferences. In this recipe, we will explore step by step how to achieve fluffy pancakes and a delicious filling, all in a simple and accessible way.
Ingredients for pancakes:
- 200 g flour
- 2 eggs
- 500 ml milk (or sparkling water for a lighter texture)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of oil (plus extra oil for frying)
Ingredients for filling:
- 400 g minced meat (can be pork, beef, or chicken, depending on preference)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill), chopped (for serving)
Preparing pancakes:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour with the pinch of salt.
2. Add the eggs and mix, then gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. If you want a lighter texture, you can use sparkling water instead of milk.
3. Add the two tablespoons of oil and mix again. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to become more elastic.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil and pour in a ladle of batter, swirling the pan to evenly cover the base. Fry the pancake for 1-2 minutes until golden, then flip it to the other side and cook for another minute. Repeat the process until you finish the batter.
Preparing filling:
1. In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onion in a little oil until translucent.
2. Add the minced meat and cook until browned evenly. Stir occasionally to avoid lumps.
3. Incorporate the garlic, carrot, and bell pepper, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
4. Add the tomato paste, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well. Cook the mixture on low heat for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Assembly and serving:
1. Fill each pancake with a portion of the meat mixture, then roll or fold the pancakes.
2. You can choose to serve them plain or place them in a baking dish, sprinkled with a little grated cheese on top, and brown them in the oven for 10 minutes for an even tastier flavor.
3. Serve the pancakes hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs, alongside a seasonal salad or sauces such as sour cream or tomato sauce.
Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of meat or add mushrooms or spinach to the filling to make it healthier.
- If you want to save time, you can use pre-cooked minced meat or canned fillings.
- The pancakes can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, and the filling can be prepared a few hours ahead, making this recipe ideal for times when you have guests.
