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.
