Italian egg rolls

italian egg rolls

I know but I did it anyway. I will break any rule in order to get vegetables into my four year old. I will put ketchup on cucumbers (he is his father's child), peanut butter on squash and chocolate chips in celery. I revel in my wickedness! I scoff at convention! After much experimentation, I have found that if I put something into an egg roll it gets eaten. Doesn't matter what it is. Even the dreaded spinach. So down come the culinary walls of decency and common sense. <br /> <br />I was suspicious about this one at first, but as my husband hovered over the plate, snatching them up and tossing them from one hand to the other until they had cooled enough to only take the top two layers of skin off his tongue he assured me this one was a keeper. So I am baring my insanity and quiet desperation to the community...be kind. But try them while you are laughing because they really are quite tasty. This time I used both spinach and some kale I had that was beginning to look a little sad in my crisper but really any greens will do. And never doubt the lengths a parent will go to get their children to eat their veggies! <br /> <br />PS: This is one of those, 'make-it-how-you-like-it' recipes. Don't like mushrooms, leave them out. I will know you are a communist though, because only communists don't like mushrooms. Want a pure spinach roll - omit the kale. Love ricotta - double it with no drama. Feel like jazzing it up a little - add pecorino!
