Egyptian Cannelon Recipe:
Chop fine two pounds of beef from the round, add and mix two level teaspoons of salt, a saltspoon of pepper, half a pint of chopped almonds or pine nuts, a tablespoon of chopped parsley and two tablespoons of grated onion. Form in a compact roll, wrap in a piece of oiled paper, place in a baking pan, add a cup of stock and a tablespoon of butter. Bake and baste, over the paper, for three-quarters of an hour.
Remove the paper and lift the cannelon to the centre of a platter. Rub together two tablespoons of butter and two of flour; put in the pan with a pint of stock; stir until boiling; add a level teaspoon of salt, and if you have it, two tablespoons of tomato catsup. Strain this over the roll and garnish with toast.
