Description
Far prettier than your average vegetable dish, this roulade is like a jelly-roll's fancy vegetable cousin. Once you've mastered the rolling technique this dish is relatively easy to prepare despite its looks. Healthy and delicious, its un-vegetable appearance is sure to be a huge hit at dinner parties and with children!Ingredients
12 oz. fresh spinach, washed & dried, or frozen spinach thawed and squeezed of extra fluid
5 oz. ricotta cheese, whole or low fat as desired
2 Tbs flour
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan
2 packets True Lemon
2/3 cup uncooked polenta
Salt and pepper to taste
non-food ingredients: parchment or heavy (doubled) wax paper; string, large cassarole dish
Directions
Cook the potatoes until tender, drain and mash. Allow to cool and add polenta, mixing thoroughly.
If using fresh spinach, boil 4 minutes, drain and squeeze out extra fluid.
Mix the spinach, ricotta, egg yolks, parmesan, flour and True Lemon in a large bowl. Thoroughly mix ingedients (it will be somewhat stiff) Add a dash of salt or pepper as desired.
On the paper, spread the mashed potato/polenta mixture and roll until 1/4 inch thick, leaving a 1 inch border between the potatoes and the edge of the paper. Make sure that there are no gaps or thin spots in the potato base.
Spread the ricotta spinach mixture over the potatoes leaving 1 inch from all edges of the potato base uncovered.
Using the edge of the paper to lift, tart carefully rolling into a log, using just enough pressure to roll but not pressing down. Peel the paper back as you go. At the end of rolling, roll the log back onto the parchment to wrap it, and secure with string at the ends and middle.
Place roulade in casserole dish and cover completely with boiling water. Simmer in a hot (375 degree) oven for 20 minutes.
Drain and cool completely before unwrapping. Slice before serving.
