Tuna Pancake Roll

I made this Tuna-Pancake Roll few weeks ago (it was last month I think). I never made this kind of dish before and I was surprised that it was more than edible. It was good!! I usually eat pancake for breakfast with some sugar or honey or with some bacon or sliced fruits. Any kind of topping I want. But I never tried to fill it with something and roll it like this.

It is a pancake filled with tuna and mixed vegetables, roll it, and bake it in the oven. It's easy, simple, and kind of unique for me. Even better, people who doesn't have electric oven can make this one as well as long as they have oven toaster.

Actually, the story begin on few weeks ago, when i was doing some shopping with my kids on a local grocery store, my daughter saw a flyer recipe suggestion over there. She took it and asked me if i could make it for her. She assumed that it must be delicious because she read "kids favoriet" on the bottom of the recipe. Well, most of the recipe with those note are usually acceptable and friendly for children.

It has a short recipe on the back of this flyer.

I read the recipe, and it seems easy and affordable. It's good idea for a dinner and beside, i still had some canned tuna at home and some vegetables. I just needed to buy some ready to eat pancake and some other small ingredients. (oh yeah!! Those time I was too lazy to make the pancake by myself.) So, let's get started :)

Ingredients :

• 2 can of canned tuna in olive oil
• 6 whole wheat pancake (Tip : It's a dutch pancake or we call it pannenkoek, not an American pancake)

• 100 grams carrots, chopped into small cubes
• white part of 1 leek, thinly sliced
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 150 grams creme fraiche
• 100 grams grated cheese

1. Preheat the oven for 180 C (356 F)
2. Take and heat about 3 tbs of oil from canned tuna in a pan.
3. Put all the chopped broccoli and carrot and saute them for about 1 minute or until the vegetables start to become tender.

5. Drain the tuna from its oil.
6. Add the tuna into the pan and stir it until the tuna is mixed well with the vegetable.

10. Roll the pancake and wrap the tuna.
