Wastels Yfarced (or Toasted Stuffed Brown Rolls)
(serves 6 as a starter, 3 as a main course)
3 wholemeal or wholewheat brown rools, halved and with their
crumb removed
50 g (2 oz) butter
100g (4 oz) mushrooms, chopped roughly
100g (4 oz) cooked and very well drained leaf spinach, chopped roughly
50g (2 oz) raisins
salt, pepper, ground cinnamon, cloves to taste
1 large or 2 small eggs
Put halved rolls in moderately hot oven for approx. 10
minutes or till they
are lightly browned and crisps
Melt the butter in a pan and cook the mushrooms for a couple
of minutes.
Add the spinach and the raisins and continue to cook gently for several minutes,
or till the butter has been almost absorbed by the veggies.
Season to taste with the slat, pepper, and spices. Beat the egg in a bowl, add
to the veggie mixture and cook it gently just long enough for the egg to
slightly bind to the other ingredients. Pile the filling into the halved rolls
and serve at once.
