Grilled Red Pepper and Spinach Antipasto

Grilled Red Pepper and Spinach Antipasto  (  Wow only 36 calories per roll)

 

Ingredients

 

8 roasted peppers ( packed in water)

 

12-oz baby spinach

 

2 Tbs pecorino cheese, grated ( parm or a parm and asiago blend would be nice as well)

 

2 Tbs chopped pine nuts

 

1 Tbs chopped shallots

 

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Cooking spray and toothpicks ( for assemblying)

 

 

Saute the spinach in some olive oil, Transfer to a colander and cool.  Press down and remove as much moisture as possible.  Finely chop the spinach.  Mix the cheese, nuts and shallots with the spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Open each pepper and lay out flat on the work surface.  Cover each one with 2/3 of the mixture( about 3 Tbs)  Press down firmly and starting at the short end roll up to enclose the filling.  Secure with a toothpick and repeat with remaining peppers.  Grill the peppers until heated through and well marked on 3 sides( grill marked)

 

Remove the toothpicks and serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil or your favorite salad dressing~   Janie

 

 

* some minced garlic would add a very nice burst of flavor and some chopped mushrooms as well~
