GREEK LASAGNE ROLL

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Red pepper, shaved as thin as the lasagna
• ½ Eggplant, shaved as thin as the lasagna
• 1 roma Tomato, shaved as thin as the lasagna
• 1 Fresh Artichoke, shaved as thin as the lasagna
• 2 Wavy Lasagne Sheets, cooked and chilled
• 1 cup Halloumi, grated
• 1 pint bechamel
• ½ cup Olive oil
• 6 Grape Leaves, canned
• ½ cup Chickpeas
• 20 Olives, shaved as thin as the lasagna or broken into pieces
• 12 Fennel fronds, washed
• 12 Parsley leaves, washed
• Salt

PREPARATION

1. In a hot cast iron pan or broiler, char all vegetables and season with salt.
2. Line 2 small springform pans or tall ring mold with a little olive oil and coat with grated halloumi cheese. Cut the lasagne sheets to the height of the ring and as long as possible.
3. Spread a thin layer of bechamel over each strip and sparingly place a single layer of charred vegetables over that. Top with any remaining grated halloumi cheese. Start on one end and roll a single sheet as tight as possible. Continue that roll onto the next sheet and continue to roll until the diameter reaches size of the mold you will bake in. Repeat until all molds are filled.
4. Bake at 450ºf until the edges are fried and the top is browned. Remove from oven and carefully remove from mold.
5. Make a salad with the chickpeas, any remaining vegetables, olives, fennel, and parsley.
6. Top the lasagna with a nice green olive oil and the salad and serve hot.
