Chicory Salad Rolls
Ingredients
- 4 large chicory salad leaves
- 3 medium-sized boiled potatoes
- 1 chopped red onion
- 1 red bell bell pepper, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 3.5 oz (100 g) mozzarella cheese, diced
- Flour to taste
- 2 beaten eggs
- Breadcrumbs to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for browning
Instructions
1. Preparing chicory leaves:
- Soak chicory leaves in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the filling:
- In a skillet, sauté the red onion, red bell bell pepper and carrots until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl and add the sautéed vegetables.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the diced mozzarella cheese, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
3. Stuffing and closing the Involtini:
- Spread the potato and vegetable filling in the center of each chicory leaf.
- Wrap the leaves to form the rolls, sealing them well at the sides to prevent the filling from escaping.
4. Breading:
- Dip each roulade first in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs, making the breadcrumbs adhere well.
5. Cooking:
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and brown the rolls on all sides until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
