Prosciutto, Bocconcini and Spinach Rolls Recipe
Flavors of Italy
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Prep. time: 20 minutes
Oven temperature: 190° C (375° F)
Cooking time: About 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 8 slices of Prosciutto, coarsely chopped
- 250 g (9 oz.) fresh Spinach
- 50 g (3 tbsp.) butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 125 g (4 oz.) Bocconcini (sold in balls in water), drained and diced
- 1 beaten egg
- 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
- Freshly ground pepper
- 225 g (8 oz.) phyllo pastry
Method
- Carefully clean the spinach, removing the larger stems, and place the leaves in a large saucepan. Cover and cook for a few moments, just until the leaves start to soften.
- Drain in a colander, pressing well to remove as much water as possible. Chop coarsely and place in a bowl.
- In a sauté pan, heat half the butter, add the onion and sauté over low heat until golden. Add the onion to the spinach and cool to lukewarm.
- Add the prosciutto, cheese, egg and parsley; season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Melt the remaining butter. For each roll, take a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it with melted butter. Place 1/8 of the filling on top, fold in the edges and roll up, adding a little more butter at regular intervals.
- Place on a baking sheet; bake in a 190° C (375° F) oven for 15-20 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve hot with a green salad.
