unfinished pancake tuna wraps

 Sorry about that ....I'm going to presume I have pushed a button and published before finishing as I dont want to be a bad sport and blame the machinery......

anyway where was I ???

pessel and morter (I think thats how you spell it).....if you've got them ,if not just chop finely the herbs with a clove of garlic, and add to a little olive oil.........you then mix the cooked rice with the cooked tuna ,sweetcorn (olives and pine nuts aswell...if you fancy)and then the grated tomatoe season well and add the herbs, 

you then add the rice mix to the pancakes either in layers or as most do like cannelones in rolls and place in an ovenproof dish...........

This is where you can get creative ...I normally top with a little bechamel and grated gruyere cheese and gratinate ,..butyou can also top with mozzarella de buffala (buffalo mozzarella  )after heating in the oven ,,,,,,the mozzarella must be added cold and with basil chopped and olive oil drizzled and balsamic vinager

however someone told me recently that they had tried with greek yogurt and topped with feta cheese and gratinated .....so take your pick

 

ONCE AGAIN SORRY FOR THE BREAK (TECHNICAL GLITCH)

AND IF YOU ARE ON THE COSTA B
