Stuffed Broccoli Rabe Roll Rotolo Di Broccoletto Recipes

STUFFED BROCCOLI LEAVES RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Mix meat, onion, diced tomatoes, rice, spices, and 2 tbs. olive oil together until well combined. Blanch prepared leaves for about 30 seconds in boiling water, then remove to colander and drain well. Begin by spreading a leaf flat on your work surface. Place about 1 TBS. rice and meat mixture on leaf, then carefully roll up. Repeat until all leaves and stuffing have been used. (Leftover leaves and/or stuffing may be frozen.) Spread remaining 1 TBS. olive oil on bottom of Dutch oven, or other heavy bottomed pan. Place rolls in spiral pattern in pan, beginning with the outside and working your way in. Repeat with more rows if needed. Place a plate on top of the roll to keep them in place while they cook. Mix tomato sauce with enough water to cover rolls in their pan. Season with salt and pepper and more garam masala if desired. Carefully pour over top of rolls so as to not dislodge them. Cover pan and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is cooked. Place a large serving platter over pan, then carefully flip platter and pan over. Leave pan in place (upside down on platter) for a few minutes, then remove pan. You should have a beautiful looking spiral design of leaves. Enjoy!
