Description

Ingredients

• 1kg ground beef
• 3 medium onions chopped
• 1 cup thickened beef gravy
• black pepper
• ½ cup cooked rice* optional

Directions

• Prepare blini according to instructions. Allow to cool.
• Saute the onions until translucent. Add the ground beef and fry until cooked.
• Prepare a cup of thickened beef gravy sauce and add it to the meat mixture. You can skip this non-traditional step and just season with salt and pepper, but this provides moisture and a richer flavour. Add black pepper to taste and allow to cool. This is where you would mix in the optional rice.
• Place one blintz on the table and put about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture near the centre. Its like wrapping a burrito. Fold the bottom to cover the meat. Fold the sides in, and roll up like an eggroll or a burrito.
• Place the rolled blini into a oven proof dish and pat some butter on top, so it will toast golden brown. Place into a preheated 180°C/ °F oven and warm up for about 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and fresh dill.
