Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by preparing our savory meat filling. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once it’s hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add your ground meat and cook it through, breaking it into smaller pieces as it browns. Season it with a pinch of salt and some black pepper, and if you like, add some herbs for added flavor. Once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly before you assemble the pancakes. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
