RicottaFilled Silverbeet Rolls
This is so delicious, and the silverbeet makes a great alternative to using pasta with a cheese filling. It can be fun to make with kids, as they can help prepare the filling and make the rolls.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 bunch silverbeet leaves
700 ml passata
2 bunches asparagus
Ricotta filling
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 brown onion, chopped in half
1 head of broccoli, chopped in half
400g ricotta
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper
Method
Using a blender, blitz the onion and garlic.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over low to medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir for a few minutes, or until starting to soften.
Meanwhile, blitz the broccoli in the blender.
Add to the frying pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is soft. Turn off the heat and leave to cool.
Bring a pot of water to the boil.
Prepare the silverbeet leaves by cutting off the stalks. Cut the largest leaves in half, removing the vein. The smaller leaves can be left whole.
Blanch the leaves in the boiling water for 1 minute, then remove and shake dry.
Add the rest of the filling ingredients to the onion and broccoli. Mix well.
Pour 3/4 of the passata into a baking tray.
Lay out a silverbeet leaf on a chopping board. Spoon a large dollop onto the top of the leaf.
Fold the top of the leaf around it, and then roll it until it forms a little roll or parcel.
Place the roll in the baking tray and repeat with the remaining silverbeet leaves. Chop up the smallest leaves and scatter over the rolls.
Pour the remaining passata over the rolls and pop into the oven.
Prepare the asparagus by breaking off the stalks and cutting into thirds.
After 25 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and toss in the asparagus. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
Serve immediately.
