Veggie-Loaded Soul Rolls
Veggie-Loaded Soul Rolls are a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The rolls are made with a variety of greens, including collard greens, kale, and mustard greens, which are sautéed in olive oil until they are wilted. Onion and garlic are then added to the skillet and cooked until softened. Vegetable broth is then stirred in and the mixture is brought to a simmer. The heat is then reduced and the greens are simmered for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender. The greens are then transferred to a bowl and allowed to cool slightly. The oven is then preheated to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and a baking sheet is lined with parchment paper. The greens are then formed into rolls and placed on the prepared baking sheet. The rolls are then baked in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Veggie-Loaded Soul Rolls are a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
The origins of Veggie-Loaded Soul Rolls can be traced back to the American South, where African slaves would often use leftover greens from their masters' meals to make a hearty and flavorful dish. Over time, this dish became a staple in many African-American households and is now enjoyed by people of all cultures. Veggie-Loaded Soul Rolls are a versatile dish that can be served as a main course, a side dish, or an appetizer. They are also a great way to use up leftover greens.
