English Translation
This is rather an interesting starter from Patagonia made from lettuce, watercress and meat fillings with pancakes separating the layers.
Ingredients:
6 pancakes
good mayonnaise (home made or jar)
6 pieces of cooked ham
lettuce watercress
2 hard-boiled egg
tomato
cucumber
olives
Method:
Place the first pancake on a plate and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on it. On top of this add a layer of cooked ham and then a further layer of mayonnaise. Add lettuce on top, a further layer of mayonnaise and the second pancake. On top of this second pancake place a coating of mayonnaise and a layer of boiled egg which has been mashed with olives and mayonnaise.
Repeat this layering process until all the pancakes have been used (ensure you place mayonnaise on each pancake and between each layer of filling). It is good if you use watercress in place of some of the lettuce as the flavour lifts the dish (you can also use chicken, tuna or anything you wish as the meat filling). To complete the dish add the final pancake as a lid and put a plate on top of this (and add weight on top). Place the dish in the fridge over night then decorate with mayonnaise and sliced tomato, cucumber and olives. Garnish with watercress and serve.
