INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the "Salsa Verde" recipe which is included in this
collection. Preheat broiler. Cut eggplant lengthwise into
1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange 6 center slices on an oiled baking
sheet in one layer, reserving remaining eggplant for another use.
Brush eggplant with oil and season with salt. Broil eggplant about 3
inches from heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Carefully turn
eggplant with a metal spatula and broil until golden, about 4 minutes
more. Transfer eggplant to a platter large enough to hold slices in
one layer and cool. Eggplant may be prepared up to this point 3 hours
ahead and kept, covered loosely, at room temperature. In a small bowl
with a fork mash together feta, ricotta, mint, and salt and pepper to
taste. Cut peppers lengthwise into pieces about same width as eggplant
slices. Assemble rolls: Top eggplant slices with pepper pieces,
arranging them in one layer. Put 1 tablespoon cheese mixture near
narrow end of each slice and into it gently press 4 to 5 arugula or
spinach leaves so that they stick out on both sides. Beginning with
cheese end, roll up each slice to enclose cheese mixture and leaves.
Rolls may be made up to 2 hours ahead and kept, covered loosely, at
room temperature. Serve rolls drizzled with Salsa Verde. This recipe
yields 6 servings as first course. Recipe Source: COOKING LIVE with
