Vegetable Rolls

This is a fun way to eat veggies and can serve as an appetizer or side dish.  Use any of your favourite legumes for this recipe.  For the wrapper, in French, it's called feuilles de brick.  In English, I think it's called phyllo pastry.  Otherwise, use spring roll wrappers. 

Ingredients:
(Makes 5 rolls)
-2 carrots
-1 zucchini
-1 onion
-2 cloves of garlic
-1/2 red pepper
-Salt & pepper
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-5 feuilles de brick (phyllo pastry or spring roll wrappers)



1. Place veggie mixture on the wrapper
2.  Fold up the wrapper









3. Fold the edges in
4. Roll the wrapper











Instructions:
-Julienne the carrots, zucchini & red pepper.
-Chop up the onion and finely mince the garlic.
-Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until soft.
-Add the rest of the veggies and saute for approximately 5 minutes. 
-Do not overcook.  I like my veggies a bit on the crunchy side.
-Season with salt and pepper.
-Let the veggie mixture cool off before rolling.
-Place about a 1-1/2 spoonful of the mixture on the pastry and follow the photo instructions above.
-Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or pan fry in oil for about 3 minutes on each side
until golden brown.
-Goes great with sweet chilli sauce.
